Friday on Sunrise LBK with Dave King and Tom Collins, The director of the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra David Cho joined Dave and Tom to talk about the new Symphony Orchestra season, who will be performing, and the beauty of the Buddy Holly Hall.

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra, and they are thrilled to present their work to the public, and have a great lineup of concerts. The first upcoming show is "Kristin Chenoweth In Concert: For the Girls". Cho said that Chenoweth is a "wicked diva" and has become a "media dominant personality." Her show will take place Saturday, October 16th at 8 PM. Their next show will be "Beethoven's 9th Symphony". This show will open up their Masterworks season, and will feature DJ Sparr who will be performing songs he wrote with Lubbock in mind, as well as premiering a new composition. The show will take place Friday, November 12th.

Cho also spoke about the Buddy Holly Hall. He said that the beauty of the building is breathtaking, and that while the acoustics are always being worked on, that they are already so good that you could hear a pin drop on stage. Cho said, "I encourage everyone to come and just experience a whole concert."
