Listen to Encore Performances of the Las Vegas Philharmonic performances we aired Summer of 2020.
The Las Vegas Philharmonic (LVP) partnered with Nevada Public Radio for the fifth consecutive year to broadcast a collection of memorable performances from the past five seasons plus two special broadcasts of music from the current 2019-20 season on Classical 89.7 FM Saturdays at 2pm, starting May 16. Each broadcast will be 90 minutes to two hours in length and will include 13 memorable performances from the Philharmonic’s current and prior seasons of powerful symphonies, exquisite concertos, brilliant guest artists, The Music of John Williams and more. Each broadcast will include insightful conversation about the artists, works and inspiration behind the music with Cabrera and Dave Becker in addition to full length performances. Additionally, the schedule will include two newly recorded conversations with Music Director, Donato Cabrera and KNPR’s Dave Becker where they will play Cabrera’s favorite recordings of the music that would have been performed at the LVP’s April 4 and May 9 concerts.
“These broadcasts represent the shared goal of KCNV/KNPR and the Las Vegas Philharmonic to keep the music playing,” shares music director Donato Cabrera. “While the orchestra and I aren’t currently able to gather together to rehearse and perform for you, our cherished audience, it is my hope that in hearing our performances from past seasons, as well as my favorite recordings of what would’ve been performed by the LVP for the April and May 2020 concerts, we can take heart in the power of music to bring a community together, and let the music inspire us to look to the future with optimism and hope.”
“We’re delighted to present the LVP again this summer! And it is a cherry on top of the sundae to be able to offer multiple additional concerts from across Maestro Cabrera’s tenure,” states Dave Becker, director of programming at KNPR/KCNV. “COVID-19 may have put a halt to a lot of things, but on Saturday afternoons this summer, turn up your stereo or put on your headphones and it will be like you’re in the middle of The Smith Center. We can’t wait to get started!”
