As always, the contents of Saturday Matinee are too varied to list, but we can tell you about one portion: A just-released recording of a concert by the Vienna Philharmonic in that city's Schönbrunn Palace, one with a celestial theme that includes performances of music from Star Wars by John Williams, Music of the Spheres by Josef Strauss, and Mars from Gustav Holst's The Planets. Franz Welser-Möst conducts, and Ed Goldberg hosts.

There's bound to be more, since with Saturday Matinee the sky is definitely not the limit. Program airs Sept. 4 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The reigning superstar of the violin, Joshua Bell, is in Portland for one night only to help the Oregon Symphony kick off their spectacular 2010/11 concert season.  

Conducted by Carlos Kalmar, music for the unforgettable Sept. 16 concert includes the Overture to Carl Nielsen's Maskarade, Aaron Copland's The Tender Land Suite, Edouard Lalo's Symphonie espagnole and George Enescu's Rumanian Rhapsody No. 1.

As Labor Day approaches, host Edmund Stone devotes his next installment of The Score to music from films centering on those whose work lays a foundation for us all, from police officers and firefighters to those who farm and fish for a living. Take a break from your own labors, sit back with a favorite beverage and Edmund, and enjoy an hour's tribute to those who get things done.

Program airs Saturday, Sept. 4, at 2 p.m.

Artists' Repertory Theatre and the Sydney Theatre Company present Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey into Night. Many consider this play, which features a celebrity cast, to be O’Neill’s masterwork. 

Extended through September 5, the play explores a day of conflict in one American family.
