Nova Classics 2010-2011
Celebrating San Diego's KPBS





KPBS and Orchestra Nova partner for one of the most delightful and entertaining performances this season. This is the concert we'll be talking about for years to come.

The orchestra will perform favorite theme songs from public radio and television (PBS, NPR, KPBS and more), many originating from Classical music. Making the concerts even more special will be the appearance of BJ Leiderman, award-winning composer of well-known theme music for "Car Talk," "Wait Wait...Don’t Tell Me!" and "Morning Edition."

Special appearance and performance by Public Radio theme composer BJ Leiderman...plus more surprise guest appearances and performances!
