Amarillo Symphony hopes Emmanuel Lopez has never claimed to suffer from the now-debunked medical ailment in today's blog. Check it out if you need a laugh.

Time Magazine's No. 2 "oddball news story" for 2009 pointed us to this debunking of an ailment that, frankly, we'd never heard of ... but it's good for a giggle on this blustery day:
Amarillo Symphony updated the blog to celebrate another successful series of KinderKonzerts. Look at that awesome shot of Kimbo!
blog.amarillosymphony.org
Kimbo had a blast conducting his inaugural KinderKonzerts, and judging by the roar of the crowd, the kids had a swell time, too. It's always a joy to see the young students' faces as they enter the hall for the first time and to hear the delight in their voices when Santa makes his appearance. ...
Amarillo Symphony kicks off the holiday season Thursday and Friday with KinderKonzerts. Thousands of area kindergartners will swarm the Globe-News Center to hear some favorite Christmas tunes and even see ol' Saint Nick himself!
Amarillo Symphony is ready for a great concert tonight! A gorgeous piano concerto and a phenomenal showpiece for the whole orchestra -- can't beat it! Call 376-8782 for your tickets!
Amarillo Symphony is having server issues. On concert eve. That's OK - the show will go on, and it's going to be a wonderful one. Watch NewsChannel 10 either tonight or Friday for a preview, and get a taste of Ian Parker's amazing piano skills and the sheer beauty of Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1!
Amarillo Symphony just uploaded a video conversation with Kimbo about Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra and its relation to "Tom & Jerry." Check it out!

Here's a little clip of a conversation I had with Kimbo last winter about this season. In this installment, Kimbo talks a little about the wildly varied influences on and characteristics of Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra. Enjoy!
Amarillo Symphony just blogged about our outstanding guest piano soloist and his spiritual kinship to Willie Nelson. Check it out!
www.amarillosymphony.org
I'm not sure if Ian Parker, our guest piano soloist for this weekend's concerts, is a fan of Willie Nelson. But to hear him talk, Ian sure lives up to the spirit of Willie's signature "On the Road Again."
Amarillo Symphony just blogged about Sunday's fantastic Youth Orchestras concert. Read it to find out how you can get tickets for this Sunday's concert at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church!

Amarillo Symphony is excited about Sunday's FREE Amarillo Youth Orchestras concert at 3 p.m. in the Globe-News Center. Come see some of the most talented kids in Amarillo and the area!

Ran across this article today on Slate on Yamaha's fancy new electronic keyboard (which really beats the heck out of my old Casio keyboard):
Amarillo Symphony just updated the blog with a preview of our November guest artist. Beatles fans: Check out where he recorded!

I just got off the phone with Ian Parker, the phenomenal pianist who'll join us for our Nov. 20-21 concerts. He's fantastically personable and, as the video below attests, amazingly talented.
Amarillo Symphony just put some fun YouTube clips up on the blog. Check them out for a preview of what you can expect at this weekend's concerts.

"Discover Heroism," the Symphony's second concert weekend of our 85th season, kicks off tonight. Here's a few hints of what you'll miss if you don't call today to get your tickets.
Amarillo Symphony just posted a blog entry about the viola without making one single joke about the instrument. Learn more about this weekend's amazing soloist, Hsin-Yun Huang!
blog.amarillosymphony.org
The viola, so often a punchline among orchestra musicians, gets a well-deserved spotlight at this weekend's concerts, and we've found one of the best players in the world to help us put it front and center.
