Sure, we’ve long been known for our undergraduate academic success. But there’s another group of students, already in the workplace, looking for a next step in their career. Many of them have found it with a master’s degree from Lipscomb. Last year, close to 1,700 professionals chose Lipscomb for an advanced degree— whether an entrepreneurial-driven MBA, a unique biomolecular science master’s that has already attracted students from
around the country, an informatics and analytics master’s helping IT specialists meet head-on real-world data trends and challenges, or one of more than 25 others offered on nights, weekends and online. In fact, our master’s programs have been so successful they’ve grown by 685% since 2005. A large number, indeed. But not all that surprising from a university whose growth has always been measured by how well it’s mastered its future.

NEW MUSICIANS Katie Munagian & Paul Jenkins
W
e’re thrilled to add two new musicians to the orchestra this season. Bassist Kate Munagian and Principal Trombonist Paul Jenkins both won highly competitive auditions in May and began their new jobs with the symphony in September. The musicians who served on the audition committees were very impressed with their technical and musical abilities. Kate grew up in Central Wisconsin, where, as the daughter of music educators, she began the violin at a young age. When she was 12, she saw Nashville bassist Edgar Meyer perform with the Central Wisconsin Symphony. She put down the violin, picked up the bass and never looked back. (Thank you, Edgar!) She attended the University of Minnesota, where she became friends with our own principal clarinetist, James Zimmermann. Kate went to Rice University for graduate studies and was in the same bass studio as Nashville Symphony bassist Kevin Jablonski. To further prove it is a small world when you are a classical musician, she attended the Colburn School of Music in Los Angeles with Paul. She was working with the Portland (Oregon) Symphony when she won the Nashville audition. Besides classical music, Kate enjoys listening to bluegrass and artists including Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon and Regina Spektor. She loves the outdoors and is looking forward to the wealth of running, hiking, biking and kayaking opportunities Tennessee has to offer. Starting with the day she arrived in Nashville for the audition, Kate loves this town and is very impressed with how friendly our city is. Paul is a native of Plano, Texas, located near Dallas. He vaguely remembers coming to Opryland when he was 8, but hadn’t been back to Nashville until he came to audition. Paul attended Northwestern University and then went to Colburn, where he met Kate. Little did they know 8

that they would both win auditions in Nashville within a few months of each other. Paul had a one-year contract with the St. Louis Symphony when he took the Nashville audition. His busy schedule didn’t allow him to practice for the audition as much as he would have liked, but the experience of playing in a professional orchestra certainly paid off. After winning the audition, he went walking down Broadway and recalls it was an amazing experience winning this audition and seeing the lively city that would become his home. Besides his passion for classical music, Paul likes many styles of music, including early blues, Bob Dylan, The Beatles and Radiohead. For hobbies, he is pursuing guitar and woodworking. Like Kate, he thinks Nashville is super-friendly, and East Nashville reminds him a bit of Austin, Texas. He also loves the pizza at 5 Points Pizza. Please join us in welcoming both Kate and Paul to the Nashville Symphony! Adapted from the Musicians of the Nashville Symphony Newsletter. Sign up at NSOMusicians.com.

hristopher Rouse has been a major figure in revitalizing the appeal of American orchestral music over the past few decades. Through his mastery of the concerto format in particular, Rouse maintains a widespread presence in the concert hall. Odna Zhizn was commissioned to celebrate conductor Alan Gilbert’s inaugural season as music director of the New York Philharmonic, where Rouse has served as composer-in-residence since 2012. This relationship has included the recently acclaimed premiere of his Requiem at Carnegie Hall last May. Rouse supplemented an education at Oberlin and Cornell by taking private studies with the maverick composer George Crumb. He has
20
NOV EM B ER 2 0 1 4
himself been a prominent educator, teaching composition at Juilliard since 1997. Rouse is above all associated with his music for orchestra. His ongoing series of concertos has earned international acclaim, with works for solo instruments and, following the lineage we hear in the Bartók selection, for full orchestra. Rouse garnered a Pulitzer Prize in 1993 for his Trombone Concerto (1991), which commemorated the death of Leonard Bernstein. This set a pattern for a string of notable compositions in memory of people important to the composer. Rouse’s inspiration for Odna Zhizn (Russian for “A Life”) was to write a tribute for “a person of Russian ancestry who is very dear to me” (the score bears the inscription “for Natasha”). “Her life has not been an easy one, and the struggles she has faced are reflected in the sometimes peripatetic nature of the music.”
W H AT TO L I ST E N FO R Rouse explains that he encoded the names of Natasha and of people and places central to her life into musical terms. “While quite a few of my scores have symbolically translated various words into notes and rhythms, this process has been carried to an extreme degree in Odna Zhizn: virtually all of the music is focused on the spelling of names and other phrases.” That is, Rouse equated each letter of the alphabet with a pitch and, at times, even a duration, thus musically “spelling out” particular words. Yet the emotional arc of the singlemovement Odna Zhizn is visceral, not abstract, unfolding in three seamlessly connected sections (slow-fast-slow). Rouse’s reputation as a masterful orchestrator can be heard immediately in the slow opening section, with its mysteriously sustained, percussion-flecked harmonies. A well-crafted transition carries us into the fast middle section, where the music generates a sense of dramatic urgency. After the most violent in a series of climaxes, a solemn tolling returns to the subdued pace of the opening — the most magical moment in Odna Zhizn. The music should be heard,
notes Rouse, “both as the public portrayal of an extraordinary life, as well as a private love letter.”

Odna Zhizn is scored for 3 flutes (3rd doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, trombones, tuba, timpani, 3 percussionists, harp, celesta and strings.
And while Mozart had indeed become a celebrity as a child prodigy, led around Europe on tours arranged by his father, that fame was hardly useful in paying the bills. Essentially, Mozart had to start from scratch, and he did that as a freelance star performer and composer who gave lessons on the side. All the while, he was hoping for more commissions like The Abduction from the Seraglio, which he wrote during his first year in Vienna for the theater established by Emperor Joseph II. During his youth in Salzburg, Mozart had composed a handful of piano concertos. His older contemporary Haydn was one of the few peers Mozart really respected and with whom he became friends in this critical decade. Haydn had been evolving the symphony into one of the grandest forms for instrumental music available in the late 18th century, but he wrote few keyboard concertos. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to point out that Mozart did for the concerto more or less what Haydn had done for the symphony. In other words, he turned a medium that was basically associated with entertainment into a laboratory for experimenting with his style, perfecting his ideas of large-scale instrumental form, melody, harmonic expression and orchestral eloquence. All of these became defining signatures of the style that became known as High Classicism — the style that Beethoven inherited and transformed into his own. Given the importance of piano concertos in Mozart’s career, it is curious that there is so little evidence about their impact as they were happening — no press accounts, for example. The Mozart expert Neal Zaslaw points out that for the composer’s “immediate contemporaries,” the concertos represented a type of music simply to be consumed then and there. They were considered “not ‘classics’ but ‘popular music,’ to be enjoyed, used up and replaced by newer works.” Mozart responded to the demand for a new supply as long as it held up, particularly between 1782 and 1786. Piano Concerto No. 25 dates from the end of this period. It was followed by only two more piano concertos (one in 1788 and one in his final year, 1791). Despite the lack of recorded
C L ASS ICAL S ERIES
buzz about these works, Zaslaw notes that “a sort of tacit approval of Mozart’s piano concertos even by his contemporaries can perhaps be detected in the fact that, whereas only three of his more than 50 symphonies were published during his lifetime, some seven of his 21 original concertos for solo piano attained that distinction.” When we talk about Mozart writing for the piano, by the way, we mean “fortepiano” — a smaller and lighter forerunner of the modern concert grand (limited to about five octaves) that was rapidly evolving in these years. Mozart owned a state-of-the-art instrument designed by the highly esteemed, Vienna-based piano builder Anton Walter. He acquired this desirable instrument at some point between 1782 and 1785. Living in an apartment over which the mass of St. Stephen’s Cathedral loomed, Mozart wrote more than 50 works on this very fortepiano. This concerto enjoys a special status among Mozart connoisseurs as arguably his finest, the most comprehensive and symphonic in its gamut of emotions and expression. But it came to attention relatively belatedly, in the modern
era, and is still not nearly as well known as the C major Concerto from the previous year (No. 21). Composed in December 1786, the Piano Concerto No. 25 benefits from the composer’s recent experience that year composing one of his operatic masterpieces, The Marriage of Figaro, and is of the same vintage as the glorious Prague Symphony in D major (No. 38).
W H AT TO L I ST E N FO R The work’s duration alone indicates that this is one of the most ambitious of Mozart’s Viennese piano concertos. The orchestration (like that his preceding C major concerto, No. 21) includes the festive sound of trumpets and drums, though Mozart does omit his beloved clarinets. The opening Allegro maestoso builds a framework of persuasively heroic rhetoric. One of the themes even seems to “echo” the Marseillaise, the ode of the French Revolution — which is all the more uncanny when one realizes that the Marseillaise was actually composed in 1792, after Mozart’s death. Could this work have been the source?

In addition to solo piano, the Piano Concerto No. 25 is scored for flute, 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani and strings.

“I
n my youth,” Béla Bartók once remarked, “Bach and Mozart were not my ideals of the beautiful, but rather Beethoven.” Beethoven remained the Hungarian composer’s touchstone in his cycle of six string quartets that spanned over three decades of his career. Beethoven was likewise a key model for the remarkable balance of discipline, formal innovation and exciting fantasy that keeps Bartók’s mature music so perennially appealing. When Bartók’s seminal Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta received its premiere in 1937, the composer had not yet been compelled to abandon his beloved Hungary for the reluctant
exile of his final years. Once World War II was under way — and the Hungarian government had allied with the Nazis — Bartók set sail with his second wife for the United States. A downward spiral had begun, and Bartók found himself alienated in this new land. He faced an indifferent public, and the leukemia that would later kill him began to affect his health. It was in the midst of this very dark period for the composer — when it seemed his creativity had reached its terminus — that a new orchestral commission arrived in the summer of 1943. Serge Koussevitzky, the famous composer of the Boston Symphony, asked Bartók for a new piece. He had been prompted by the intervention of the composer’s allies and fellow Hungarians, the

with which Mozart creates such beauty here, in contrast to the ceaseless stream of ideas in the outer movements. The rondo finale has more weight than the conventional “last drink” third movement. For its theme Mozart borrowed a tune from his earlier opera seria, Idomeneo. Yet for all its formality, Mozart infuses his treatment of the entire movement with considerable wit, invention and emotional shading.
C L ASS ICAL
Another striking element is the insistent four-note rhythm that the soloist trades back and forth with the orchestra. This anticipates another extremely famous musical meme: the “knocking” motif of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. Mozart himself left no surviving cadenzas for this work. The opening phrases of the Andante could easily be the entrée into one of Mozart’s most intimate opera scenes. The music here reminds us that the piano concertos on one level served as a kind of staging ground to test out ideas that could be developed in an opera, or even as a voiceless “concert opera” featuring the soloist as the drama’s protagonist.

conductor (and former Bartók student) Fritz Reiner and the violinist Joseph Szigeti. Though he reportedly weighed less than 100 pounds when he undertook the commission, Bartók rallied and produced one of the great success stories of modern music. The Concerto for Orchestra, which he composed in the summer and early fall of 1943, premiered in December of the following year. It was soon embraced by both critics and the public and has since become an orchestral staple. Its musical poetry remains bracing. The idea of a concerto featuring not just a soloist, but the whole ensemble as a collective of virtuosos did not begin with Bartók. He did, however, revive the Baroque concept of the concerto — the socalled “concerto grosso” — which juxtaposes smaller groupings of instruments against the texture of the larger ensemble. The Concerto for Orchestra also serves to showcase the expressive power and versatility of a modern orchestra. Instrumental timbre turns out to be a significant dimension of this music, along with its innovative formal design and the manner in which Bartók develops his thematic material. In formal terms, the Concerto can also be regarded as a symphony in five movements, beginning in a dark, brooding mood but finding its way to triumphant affirmation. (For a number of reasons, Bartók regarded the symphony at this moment in history as passé.) The composer lays out this five-movement design according to one of his favorite patterns: the palindromic structure ABCBA. Thus the slow third movement is the tragic center surrounded by two lighter interludes, which in turn are framed by the two longest (and fastest) movements.

Game of Pairs”) presents pairs of instruments in sequence, with a brass chorale as the trio. The haunting “Elegy” at the heart of the Concerto recalls material from the slow introduction and contains Bartók’s so-called “night music” — a term the composer used to describe his heavily atmospheric, mysterious sonorities evoking the enigma of the natural world at night. The fourth movement (“Interrupted Intermezzo”) plays with clichés of “innocent” folk music, while the rude “interruption” in this movement is often claimed to represent Shostakovich, whose Seventh Symphony (the “Leningrad”) had recently become a popular rallying cry of resistance to the invading Germans. Other interpretations, however, have challenged that longstanding view of Bartók’s intent. The presto finale, with its madly whirring strings and brass fanfares, urges the Concerto on to a thrilling conclusion in Bartók’s inimitable style. The Concerto for Orchestra is scored for 3 flutes (3rd doubling piccolo), 3 oboes (3rd doubling English horn), 3 clarinets (3rd doubling bass clarinet), 3 bassoons (3rd doubling contrabassoon), 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, 2 harps, strings. — Thomas May, the Nashville Symphony’s program annotator, is a writer and translator who covers classical and contemporary music.

CARMEN BRADFORD, vocals Born in Austin, Texas, and raised in Altadena, California, Carmen Bradford grew up with music in her home and in her heart. It was only natural that she would follow in the footsteps of her great family legacy, being the daughter of legendary trumpeter/ composer Bobby Bradford and world-renowned vocalist/composer Melba Joyce. Her grandfather Melvin Moore sang with Lucky Millender’s Big Band in the 1940s, making her a third-generation jazz musician. Discovered and hired by Mr. Count Basie, Bradford was the featured vocalist in the legendary Count Basie Orchestra for nine years. She has since performed and/or recorded with Wynton Marsalis, Shelly Berg and John Clayton, along with the Clayton Hamilton Orchestra, Nancy Wilson, Doc Severinsen, Tony Bennett,
James Brown, Patti Austin, Byron Stripling, Dori Caymmi, George Benson, Lena Horne, Frank Sinatra, Joe Williams, DIVA Jazz Orchestra, the National Symphony, Rochester Philharmonic, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and other artists. Bradford performed on two GRAMMY® Award-winning albums with the Basie band in the 1980s and later collaborated on a third GRAMMY®-winning album, Big Boss Band, with guitarist George Benson in 1991. She added another chapter in her illustrious career as a solo artist with her critically acclaimed debut album, Finally Yours (Evidence Records) in 1992. The 1995 release of her second solo album, With Respect, (Evidence Records) established the Atlanta-based singer as one of jazz music’s most diverse and exciting vocal stylists. Bradford has also loaned her talented voice to stage productions and the music of Hollywood films. She sang on the haunting soundtrack for Oprah Winfrey’s Beloved, and recently starred in the title role of Duke Ellington’s folk opera Queenie Pie at the University of Texas’ Butler School of Music.

His time at Rouen impressed on the future composer a lifelong reverence for the tradition of Gregorian chant, while his intensely selfcritical perfectionism mirrored the attitude of his composition teacher, Paul Dukas. Duruflé once remarked on the additional influences of Ravel and Debussy, singling out Ravel’s orchestral music and Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun for admiration. Contemporary composers at the time, Debussy and Ravel employed archaic elements in their harmonic language that are reminiscent of the old church modes used in Gregorian chant. Duruflé, however, explicitly discounted the influence of Ravel’s teacher, Gabriel Fauré — ironic, given that Duruflé’s Requiem is frequently identified as a 20th-century counterpart to Fauré’s Born on January 11, 1902, in Louviers in late-19th-century Requiem. northwestern France; died on June 16, 1986, Every composer who treats the ancient in Louveciennes, near Paris liturgical texts in the Roman Catholic Mass for the Deceased has an option to select among Requiem, Op. 9 these texts.

Instead, he wrote, Rouen Cathedral starting in 1912 left a “I have simply tried to surround myself with the profound mark on Maurice Duruflé. He studied at style suitable to the Gregorian chants as well as the choir school there and also gravitated toward the rhythmic interpretation of the Benedictines of the organ, which he continued studying, along Solesmes.” with composition, at the Conservatoire in Paris. The composer’s nod to the monks of Solesmes In Paris the young Duruflé had direct access to the refers to the 19th-century movement to restore great tradition of French organ playing from such Gregorian chant, the large repertory of melodies mentors as Louis Vierne.

Duruflé’s Requiem fuses pervasive Gregorian sources with Impressionist influences. The composer himself wrote that he “endeavored to reconcile as much as possible the Gregorian rhythm…with the demands of modern metrical notation,” adding that the form of each of the nine movements was “generally inspired by the form

suggested by the liturgy.” Soft dynamics predominate over long stretches, which makes the composer’s comparatively rare use of loud volume in certain passages all the more effective. Duruflé favors subtle reflection over breast-beating drama. Both the opening Introit antiphon and the ensuing Kyrie are shaped as ABA forms, the men’s voices immediately introducing a chant melody tinged by the orchestra’s harmonic coloring. Even Duruflé’s polyphony — weaving multiple independent vocal lines into a coherent structure — is restrained rather than attention-grabbing, as in the fugue arrayed across the four choral voice parts at the beginning of the Kyrie. The orchestra takes on an increasingly prominent profile in the Domine Jesu Christe, which includes some of the Requiem’s darkest passages. Recalling the beginning of the Introit in its first measures, the Sanctus reaches a powerful climax as the chorus sings, “Hosanna in excelsis.” The movement that most readily recalls the spirit of Fauré’s Requiem, Duruflé’s touching setting of the Pie Jesu, was originally written for solo

in 1947 and dedicated to the memory of his father. At first, he had been working on a suite for organ using traditional chants associated with the Requiem. Eventually, Duruflé decided to create his own setting of the liturgy, writing his first work for chorus and orchestra. In 1948, he prepared a version of the Requiem for chorus and organ alone, and in 1961, he prepared another version for chorus, organ and reduced orchestra. The Requiem ranks among the most popular choral and sacred music compositions of the 20th century, underscoring the fact that Duruflé’s musical achievement here transcends religious affiliations and offers something to secular audiences as well.

mezzo-soprano, though performance practice allows for the chorus to be used here (as in the case for these performances). This practice also holds true for two movements conceived for solo baritone: Domine, Jesu Christe and Libera me. The blend of Impressionist influences and what has been described as Duruflé’s “neomedieval” Gregorian chant is evident in the Agnus Dei, with its “updated” harmonies and nuanced orchestration for strings, harp and woodwinds. Cast in two parts, the Lux aeterna is also strikingly orchestrated, entrusting components of the chant melody to solo woodwinds. Duruflé shapes his chorus here with special tenderness. The Libera me takes into account the fearful emotions of death. Its overall mood and forceful climax undermine the frequent claim that Duruflé’s Requiem is all about serenity.
JOHANNES BRAHMS
But the Requiem concludes with In Paradisum, in which, wrote Duruflé, is contained “the ultimate answer of Faith to all the questions, by the flight of the soul to Paradise.” (This text is traditionally associated not with the Requiem Mass, but with the funeral procession leading to burial.) The composer thus introduces the celeste and muted strings into his sound world here. “Requiem,” the word sung at the very beginning, is the very last to be intoned by the chorus. Requiem is scored for mixed chorus and an orchestra of 3 flutes (2nd and 3rd doubling piccolo), 2 oboes (2nd doubling 2nd English horn), English horn, 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, cymbals, bass drum, tam-tam, celesta, harp, organ and strings.

hough far more prolific than Duruflé, Johannes Brahms represents another instance of the intensely self-critical composer. Historians have noted that Beethoven’s intimidating example caused Brahms great anxiety with regard to his own symphonies, but a similar psychology can also be traced in his two piano concertos — another genre that was heavily imprinted by Beethoven’s achievement. It’s fascinating to compare the two Brahms

concertos. If you include the years the very young Brahms spent wrestling with his tempestuous Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor before he finally introduced it in 1859, the gap separating these two works is close to three decades. Brahms had a lot at stake with the First Concerto, not least because it was his first orchestral work to be performed. But by the time he composed his Second Piano Concerto, he had already proved himself — through his first example in the genre, his first two
The opening gesture even deliberately evokes the Emperor. Following the solo horn’s melody, the piano immediately enters with a keyboardspanning commentary. But the mood here is far removed from the fountains of extroverted cadenzas that launch Beethoven’s work. Instead, Brahms continually varies his ideas, finally giving the orchestra space to continue in the usual manner of an exposition before the soloist reenters. The composer establishes an interplay between soloist and orchestra that’s comparable to a thoughtful, deeply engaged conversation. So thoroughly integrated into the fabric of the music is the soloist that Brahms doesn’t bother with the usual spotlight treatment of a solo cadenza at the movement’s climax. This vast first movement also includes an adventurous development section (beginning with a minor-key variant of the horn

motif) and a spellbinding coda that casts the main theme in a particularly splendid light. The remaining three movements pose a counterweight to offset what might otherwise have been a “top-heavy” concerto (as, indeed, the First Piano Concerto arguably is). Brahms originally intended to include an “extra” Scherzo movement in the Violin Concerto he wrote after his trip to Italy in 1878, but ended up incorporating that idea here — calling it Allegro appassionato instead of a Scherzo. In D minor, the key of the First Concerto, this movement even makes room for something of that earlier work’s grim, titanic sensibility in the otherwise mellower Second Concerto. A masterful transition leads the way into the contrasting middle section. The Andante then evokes the gesture of the solo horn at the start, this time giving the first statement to another solo instrument, the cello. As in Beethoven’s sublime slow concerto movements, the piano traces out embellishments of the melody; in fact, it never really states the melody as such, which is confined to Brahms’ reduced orchestra. (The trumpets and timpani are omitted here and in the finale.) Later, after a development of these ideas, Brahms interlaces a pair of clarinets with the piano in a passage that could come from one of his chamber scores. As a finale, Brahms devises another surprise: not the expected straightforward rondo, but a mix of the rondo idea with a profusion of different themes that are subtly related. One of these, in the minor key, imparts what was considered at the time a melancholy “gypsy” flavor. The demanding piano writing calls for a wide variety of stylistic touches, but is free of overdone virtuosic dazzle. In another surprise, Brahms shifts the meter and accelerates the tempo in the coda, where the solo piano and full orchestra merge and reaffirm the ebullient conclusion.

symphonies and his Violin Concerto. He profited both from a productive sense of confidence and from a greater maturity of musical thought in the Second Concerto, which enabled him to make some bold decisions about the work’s form and the pianist’s role. The music draws on material Brahms began sketching while traveling in Italy in the spring of 1878. Its epic scope served as fodder for the composer’s characteristically dry, ironic humor when he described the completed score to one his confidantes as “a tiny, tiny concerto with a tiny, tiny wisp of a scherzo.” By casting the work in four rather than the conventional three movements, Brahms prompts comparisons with the four-movement layout of a symphony. Indeed, the Second Concerto is generally regarded as an inherently “symphonic” concerto in terms of its expertly crafted development of ideas, as well as its integration of the piano with the orchestra. At the same time, despite its large dimensions, the score never feels overly weighty. In some ways, Brahms emulates the model of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 (the Emperor) by writing music in which reflective, even relaxed moments can credibly coexist with passages of intense drama.

JOAQUIN ACHÚCARRO, piano Joaquin Achúcarro has been described by the Chicago Sun-Times as “the consummate artist,” and his impeccable and model artistic career has earned him a reputation of the highest degree both nationally and internationally. Born in Bilbao, Spain, as a young student he won a number of international prizes throughout Europe. It was his victory at the 1959 Liverpool International Competition, and the rave reviews in the London press following his debut with the London Symphony in the Royal Festival Hall, that marked the start of what would become a storied career. Since then, Achúcarro has performed with more than 200 orchestras around the globe in some of the world’s most storied venues, including Avery Fisher Hall, Royal Albert Hall, the Sydney Opera House and Carnegie Hall.
Achúcarro has been a prolific recording artist, revising and recording Joaquin Rodrigo’s Piano Concerto for Sony, and releasing prizewinning recordings of de Falla, Granados, Ravel and Brahms for BMG-RCA, Claves and Ensayo, as well as music by Schumann, Schubert, Chopin, Beethoven, Debussy, Bartók, Rachmaninoff, Scriabin, Turina and Hermann. Achúcarro was named UNESCO’s “Artist for Peace” in 2000 in recognition of “his extraordinary artistic achievement.” In his home country, he has received the highest honors in the arts: the Gold Medal of Fine Arts, as well as the National Award for Music. In 2003, King Juan Carlos of Spain honored Achúcarro with the Great Cross of Civil Merit, and he played the inauguration of the Bilbao Guggenheim Museum in front of an audience of 25,000 that was broadcast worldwide on television. Since August of 1989, he has held the Tate Chair at Southern Methodist University in Dallas and has been a professor at the international summer courses of the Accademia Chigiana of Siena, Italy.

Day of mourning, day of wrath, of calamity, of misery, the great day, and most bitter. Eternal rest give to them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death on that dreadful day when the heavens and the earth shall be moved, and Thou shalt come to judge the world by fire. IX.

ONSTAGE AT THE SCHERMERHORN Pictured above: Nashville Symphony musicians Roger Wiesmeyer and James Zimmermann engage with the audience during an OnStage performance.
What could be better than enjoying a concert at the Schermerhorn? How about a concert and a good glass of wine while sitting onstage with the performers? You can do all this and more at the Nashville Symphony’s monthly OnStage at the Schermerhorn program. OnStage is designed for adult audiences to interact with Nashville Symphony musicians in a relaxed, informal setting. Hosted on weeknight evenings from 5:30-7 p.m., this FREE chamber music series is a wonderful way to get to know your Nashville Symphony musicians, meet other music lovers and explore the history and artistry behind some of the greatest pieces of music ever written. Registration is now open for our November 11 program, featuring violinist Louise Morrison.
Visit NashvilleSymphony.org/OnStage to sign up and view a full list of upcoming programs. Highlights include our December 10 Holiday Spectacular, featuring arrangements of holiday music by Nashville Symphony violist Chris Farrell, and a March 31 performance of Arnold Schoenberg’s stunning Pierrot Lunaire. Seating for OnStage is limited, and reservations will be taken on a first come first served basis.
OnStage at the Schermerhorn is just one of many free education and community engagement programs offered by the Nashville Symphony. Each year, our musicians devote more than 150,000 hours of their time and reach more than 100,000 children and adults throughout Middle Tennessee. Learn more at NashvilleSymphony.org/education.
