Tonight at 7:00 on the “Evening Concert” on FM 90.9 it’s the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. You’ll hear Prokofiev’s “Classical” Symphony and Tchaikovsky’s “Sleeping Beauty Suite”. Manfred Honeck conducts. Also on the program James MacMillan’s “Veni, Veni, Emmanuel” with soloist Colin Currie.

Prepare to be amazed with musical treasures from the British Isles.

And tonight those are Tchaikovsky's "Violin Concerto" and Dvorak's "New World Symphony".

The three main works on tonight's broadcast are "programmatic" works, that is, they are purely instrumental but attempt to 'tell a story' (Sensemaya) or convey a particular time and place (Lt. Kije).
