Go beyond the concert hall with Behind the Baton, the new podcast from the Amarillo Symphony. Hosted by Music Director George Jackson, this intimate series brings listeners inside the orchestra through candid, one-on-one conversations with its musicians. Inspired by the Symphony’s popular pre-concert talks—where Jackson offers audiences deeper insight into the music—the podcast expands that experience, revealing the stories, personalities, and artistry behind every performance.

Each episode highlights the human side of symphonic music, as players share their journeys, inspirations, and what it means to collaborate at the highest level. Whether you’re a seasoned concertgoer or new to orchestral music, Behind the Baton offers a fresh perspective—connecting you more closely to the musicians and the music they bring to life.

Please enjoy our first episode, recorded before our September 2025 concert featuring Kathleen Carter Bell, Artistic Director of CMA and Principal English Horn, and her husband Conor Bell, Principal Bassoon.
