KNAU’s Symphony Night presents a new season of concerts by the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra beginning Monday March 11.
The broadcast season is a mix of classical favorites, such as Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, Brahms’ “A German Requiem,” and Dvorak’s “New World Symphony” as well as newer pieces, including an adaptation for saxophone of the Phillip Glass Violin Concerto and “The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires” by Astor Piazzolla.
