iancarlo Guerrero is the six-time GRAMMY®winning Music Director of the Nashville Symphony, a post he has held since 2009 and has committed to through the 2024/25 season. Starting in the 2017/18 season, Guerrero will also take on the role of Music Director of the Wrocław Philharmonic at the National Forum of Music in Poland, and in August 2018, he will begin serving as Principal Guest Conductor of Gulbenkian Orchestra in Lisbon. A natural and instinctive musician, Guerrero “brings to the podium not only vitality and insight but also an appealing physical dynamism,” writes the Cleveland Plain Dealer. A passionate proponent of new music, Guerrero has championed the works of several of America's most respected composers through commissions, recordings and world premieres. Guerrero’s advocacy has helped make Nashville a destination for contemporary music. He has presented eight world premieres with the Nashville Symphony, including the 2016 performance and recent GRAMMY®-winning recording of Michael Daugherty’s cello concerto Tales of Hemingway. The 2016/17 season also saw the release of new albums with the Nashville Symphony dedicated to the music of Richard Danielpour and Jennifer Higdon. Guerrero developed and guided the creation of Nashville Symphony’s Composer Lab & Workshop initiative, together with composer Aaron Jay Kernis, to further foster and promote new American orchestral music. A well-traveled guest conductor, Guerrero enjoys relationships with orchestras around the world. In the 2017/18 season, his guest-conducting engagements include the Boston Symphony, The Cleveland Orchestra, Detroit Symphony, Queensland Symphony, Sydney Symphony, Brussels Philharmonic,

Residentie Orchestra in The Hague and Gulbenkian Orchestra, among others. Maestro Guerrero has appeared with many of the prominent North American orchestras, including those of Baltimore, Boston, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Montréal, Seattle, Toronto and Vancouver; the Philadelphia Orchestra; Los Angeles Philharmonic; and the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C. He has developed a strong guestconducting profile in Europe and has worked with great success in recent seasons with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony, Brussels Philharmonic, Deutsches Radio Philharmonie, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Netherlands Philharmonic, Residentie Orkest and the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Guerrero made his debut with Houston Grand Opera in 2015 conducting Puccini’s Madama Butterfly. Early in his career, he worked regularly with the Costa Rican Lyric Opera and has conducted new productions of Carmen, La bohème, and Rigoletto. In 2008 he gave the Australian premiere of Osvaldo Golijov’s one-act opera Ainadamar at the Adelaide Festival to great acclaim. Guerrero previously held posts as Principal Guest Conductor of The Cleveland Orchestra Miami (2011-16), Music Director of the Eugene Symphony (2002-09) and Associate Conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra (1999-2004). Guerrero is particularly engaged with conducting training orchestras and works regularly with the Curtis School of Music, Colburn School in Los Angeles and Yale Philharmonia. In recent years, he has developed a relationship with the National Youth Orchestra (NYO2) in New York, created and operated by the Weill Institute of Music at Carnegie Hall.

nrico Lopez-Yañez is the newly appointed Assistant Conductor of the Nashville Symphony. Lopez-Yañez comes to Nashville following two seasons as Assistant Conductor (and, previously, Conducting Fellow) of the Omaha Symphony, where he led more than 100 performances on the orchestra’s Family, Education, Community and Symphony Rocks concert series. In the summer of 2016, Lopez-Yañez served as Assistant Conductor to Christoph Eschenbach and Valeri Gergiev for the National Youth Orchestra’s Carnegie Hall, New York state, and European tour performances. Sharing an equal love for opera, Lopez-Yañez recently served as Assistant Conductor and Chorus Master for the Berkshire Opera Festival, where his work was met with rave reviews. He has led opera gala concerts in San Diego and Aguascalientes, Mexico; led a production of Madama Butterfly with Main Street Opera in Chicago; and served as Assistant Conductor for Opera Omaha’s production of La bohème. While in graduate school, Lopez-Yañez served as Assistant Conductor to the Capital City Symphony and Music Director for the University of Maryland’s Repertoire Orchestra. Lopez-Yañez also attended the Castleton Music Festival, where Lorin Maazel invited him as a Conducting Associate. His international appearances have included guest conducting with the Orquesta Filarmónica de Zacatecas, Mexico; the Orquesta Sinfónica de Aguascalientes, Mexico; the Prague Summer Nights Orchestra in Czech Republic; and the 2011 Festival de Musica in Londrina, Brazil. Lopez-Yañez’s principal teachers were Jim Ross and Thomas Wilkins, with additional studies and masterclasses from Lorin Maazel, Michael Tilson Thomas and Ken Kiesler. He holds a Master’s in Music in Orchestral Conducting from the University of Maryland. Before studying at Maryland, Lopez-Yañez received his Baccalaureate and Master’s in Music from UCLA, where he studied trumpet with Jens Lindemann and graduated summa cum laude.

his season marks Tucker Biddlecombe's first as Chorus Director of the Nashville Symphony Chorus, after having served as interim director for the 2016/17 season. He also serves as Associate Professor and Director of Choral Activities at Vanderbilt University’s Blair School of Music, where he directs the Vanderbilt Chorale and Symphonic Choir and teaches courses in choral conducting and music education. His work with the Nashville Symphony has included Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 and a world premiere recording of John Harbison’s Requiem for Naxos. Other notable works with Vanderbilt Choirs have included Mozart’s Coronation Mass, Haydn’s Creation and an upcoming staged performance of Bach’s St. Matthew Passion in April 2018. The Vanderbilt Chorale will release their first solo album, Music in the Listening Place (Navona), in March 2018. Biddlecombe can also be heard as tenor soloist and conductor on And the Time Is (Klavier), a recording of the music of Jack Stamp (Klavier) featuring the Vanderbilt Chorale and Wind Symphony. Biddlecombe serves as director of Blair’s fiveyear Bachelor of Music/Teacher Education degree (Ma5) program offered in conjunction with Peabody College at Vanderbilt. He has served as a clinician to choirs in 22 states and has conducted all-state choruses in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida and New York. Off the podium, Biddlecombe is active as a tenor and keyboardist. He has guest-conducted performances with Music City Baroque and the Nashville Early Music Festival, and serves as organist and musician at Harpeth Presbyterian Church in Brentwood. Biddlecombe is active in public school music programs in Nashville, working with teachers as a side-by side coach. His web initiative, the Nashville Choral Consortium, tracks each choral ensemble throughout the season and serves as a hub for choral performance throughout Middle Tennessee. A native of Buffalo, New York, Biddlecombe is a graduate of SUNY Potsdam and Florida State University. He resides in Nashville with his wife Mary Biddlecombe, Artistic Director of the Blair Children’s Chorus.

INCONCERT

TONIGHT’S CONCERT JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH Concerto in D minor for Two Violins and String Orchestra • This is one of only three surviving violin concertos by Bach. It was likely written around 1720 in Cöthen, before Bach’s permanent move to Leipzig. • The structure follows Vivaldi’s now time-tested concerto format, with a slow movement sandwiched by two fast movements. The sophisticated counterpoint and employment of the two soloists make this piece characteristic of Bach’s work. • The Double Concerto is closely associated with violinist Alma Rosé, the niece of Gustav Mahler. She made her public debut performing the work with her father, Arnold Rosé, concertmaster of the Vienna Philharmonic. During the Holocaust, she was interned at Auschwitz, where she served as conductor of the women’s orchestra and later died of an unknown cause in the camp hospital.

EDWARD ELGAR Chanson de matin, Op. 15, No. 2 | Chanson de nuit, Op. 15, No. 1 • Elgar’s Chansons are intimate in scale, with contrasting characters of day and night: the titles literally translate to “Morning Song” and “Evening Song.” Written around the same time as his celebrated Enigma Variations, these songs were published in an attempt to alleviate Elgar’s struggling finances.

WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART Concerto No. 5 in A Major for Violin and Orchestra, K. 219 • Mozart’s background with the violin began at a young age, as his father was a renowned instructor and author of a technique book. This piece was composed in 1775, known as Mozart’s “year of the violin,” in which he wrote several concertos for the instrument. • This concert is nicknamed the “Turkish” because of the exoticsounding music in the finale. The composer was actually influenced by Hungarian music, but at the time “Turkish” was a catch-all term for anything with an Eastern influence.

EDWARD ELGAR Variations on an Original Theme, Op. 36 “Enigma” • Elgar’s quintessential work, which catapulted him to international fame, started as nothing more than an after-work improvisation on the piano. When his wife Alice noticed the beauty of the melody, he turned it into a full-blown theme and variations. • The 14 variations on his original theme each represent a person in the composer’s life, including himself. Variation C.A.E. represents his wife, and Nimrod represents his closest musical friend, August Jaeger. • While the individuals behind the variations’ names have since been revealed, Elgar chose to leave a greater riddle behind — an unheard theme that “must be left unguessed,” he wrote. Elgar's wife, Caroline Alice Elgar

ALBERTO GINASTERA Variaciones Concertantes, Op. 23

MAURICE RAVEL Rapsodie espagnole Prélude a la nuit Malagueña Habañera Feria This concert will run approximately two hours, including a 20-minute intermission. Jonathan Leshnoff’s Guitar Concerto will be recorded live for future worldwide release. Please keep noise to a minimum to ensure the highest-quality recording. INCONCERT

TONIGHT’S CONCERT MAURICE RAVEL Le Tombeau de Couperin • Ravel began this piece in 1914 as a piano suite paying tribute to French Baroque composer François Couperin. His time in the military as an ambulance driver during World War I transformed the work into a memorial for his fallen comrades on the battlefield. The orchestral version, which includes four of the original six movements, premiered in 1920. • The orchestral suite includes a prelude, as well as three movements named for historic Italian and French dances: Forlane, Menuet and Rigaudon.

JONATHAN LESHNOFF Concerto for Guitar • Baltimore-based composer Leshnoff has enjoyed a collaborative relationship with conductor Marin Alsop and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, which commissioned this piece from him — even though he’d never had experience writing for the guitar. • Because of the guitar’s acoustical qualities — which can easily be overwhelmed by the sound of an orchestra — the composer had to think carefully about how to write for the ensemble. “I let the orchestra reflect and be subordinate,” he explains, “almost in the sense of listening to what the guitar is doing and mirroring this back — like a reflecting pool.” • To be recorded live, this work will complete a forthcoming Nashville Symphony recording of Leshnoff’s music on Naxos.

ALBERTO GINASTERA Variaciones Concertantes, Op. 23 • Born in Argentina, Ginastera was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship and traveled to America shortly before writing this piece. Commissioned by the Asociación Amigos de la Música in Buenos Aires, Variaciones concertantes premiered in 1953 after Ginastera’s brief and politically tumultuous return to his home country. • Influenced by the Argentine gaucho (cowboy) tradition, the work spotlights individual instruments, including flute, clarinet, viola, oboe and bassoon, throughout the 11 variations on the original theme.

MAURICE RAVEL Rapsodie espagnole • Strongly inspired by his Basque mother, French composer Ravel showed particular skill in writing Spanish-flavored music, even though he had yet to visit Spain at the time of this piece’s composition. Rapsodie espagnole premiered in 1908. • This four-movement suite opens with a repeated four-note line and transitions into the dance Malagueña. The Habanera recalls music from Bizet’s Carmen, while the closing Feria (“Festival”) movement is driven by lively castanets. — Corinne Fombelle & Thomas May
