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.
This week's Highlights include performances by international classical music stars, who are all touring through Houston – from a Grammy-nominated string quartet, in town for a Da Camera concert; to a violin virtuoso, who will conduct and solo with the Houston Symphony; to a renowned tenor starring in Houston Grand Opera's Faust. We'll also hear local indie darlings, Two Star Symphony, with a dark and moody selection for Halloween!
