Be on the listen for Houston Music Highlights, Tuesday through Friday on Houston Public Media Classical! These 6-minute highlights feature local musicians and ensembles such as the Houston Symphony, the Apollo Chamber Players, and numerous others each week. Houston Music Highlights air at 7 AM, and then repeat at 1 PM, 6 PM, and 10 PM.
We continue and expand upon the momentum of July 4th with an all-American week of Highlights, featuring music from both North and South America! Selections include works by Houston-based Canadian-American composer, Karim Al-Zand; pioneer African-American composer, Florence Price; and Argentina's Carlos Guastavino, considered the "Schubert of the Pampas."
