KMSU - Mankato Symphony Orchestra Recordings
This ongoing project with the Mankato Symphony Orchestra would not be possible without the funding from the state Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. There are five recordings made over the course of eight months. These high-quality, professional digital recordings are completed in roughly four days from the time of the concert performance to delivery to KMSU, which is remarkable. The recorded performances are aired the Sunday following each performance at 3:00 p.m. on KMSU. They are also made available on the AMPERS website.
