Symphonies of Iowa
Saturdays at 5 p.m. and Sundays at 4 p.m. on IPR Classical
PLEASE NOTE: In an effort to be as proactive as we can be regarding the safety of our production staff, we are suspending some IPR Classical music programming. The current season of Symphonies of Iowa and The Steinway Café series have been suspended as of March 30. When we feel it is safe to continue production of the season, we will resume our broadcasts of Iowa’s great symphony orchestras.
Every week, Symphonies of Iowa showcases Iowa's leading orchestras in concert. You'll hear a mix of familiar masterpieces and new works, of world-renowned soloists and Iowa's best composers and musicians.
