The Harrington String Quartet has enriched the musical community of the Texas Panhandle since 1981. The quartet was established by a generous gift from the late Sybil B. Harrington to benefit West Texas A&M University, Amarillo Symphony Orchestra and the Panhandle community. Throughout its history, the quartet distinguishes itself in performances throughout Texas, the United States, and abroad.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to a serious injury Richard Elliot has had to cancel his concert and reschedule it for Spring 2009. We ask your prayers for healing and speedy recovery.

Emmanuel Lopez, Cello Artist
"Manny" Lopez will be performing the complete unaccompanied Cello Suites by Johann Sebastian Bach over a two night performance. You will not want to miss this beautiful free gift of music by Amarillo's own internationally renowned Cello Artist. Manny wanted to offer this free concert at a gift to the Texas Panhandle.

Oliveir Latry, Organist
Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris
Olivier Latry, titular organist of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris, is one of the world’s most distinguished organists, not only in France, but in the international community as well. Not wishing to specialize in a particular repertoire, Olivier Latry would like to be an ambassador of seventeenth to twenty-first century French organ music, hence his equal devotion to the art of improvisation. Today he is counted among the most noted “improvisateurs” in the exceptional French tradition. Olivier Latry has performed in more than forty countries on five continents, appearing most often in the United States.
