Hawaiʻi Symphony Orchestra Broadcasts

BRAD GODA PHOTOGRAPHY 2023

Earlier this month, Hawaiʻi Symphony Orchestra Board Member Ken Robbins joined Gene Schiller in remembering Michael Titterton, HPR’s former president and general manager and former HSO president who died in October. Together they discuss Titterton’s appreciation for various music genres. A huge fan of British Rock, from Pink Floyd to the Rolling Stones, Titterton also held a fondness for classical music, sharing his appreciation for Heitor villa-Lobos’ Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5, which he played on-air when he substituted as a classical music host. Listen to the interview.

In honor of his contributions to public radio, Hawaiʻi Symphony Orchestra and the arts, HSO's Dec. 8 performance featuring Tchaikovsky’s “Pathétique” was dedicated to Michael Titterton. On Sunday, Dec. 29 at 3 p.m., Hawaiʻi Public Radio brings a special presentation of this performance to HPR-2, your home for classical music. Mezzo-soprano Fleur Barron joins HSO for this soul-searching symphony.

Listen to the broadcast of HSO's “Pathétique,” Sunday, Dec. 29 at 3 p.m. on HPR-2. Tune in on the radio, stream on your smart speaker or listen on-demand on our website or on the HPR mobile app.
