beliusSibeliusSibelius attsAndréWattsAndré When I’m planning a concert season, the thing that gets me most excited is variety — and the Nashville Symphony’s 2010/11 SunTrust Classical Series has plenty. On the 7A package, you’ll get a taste of everything from Mozart and Beethoven to visionary new works by John Adams and Philip Glass. Throughout the year, we’ll perform pieces by English, French, German, Russian and Scandinavian composers, each with its own distinct flavor. I’m especially looking forward to conducting Duruflé’s Requiem, a lush and moving choral showcase that will feature some of the nation’s best young singers, and you won’t want to miss our performance of Bruckner’s Third Symphony — an epic musical experience that will vividly demonstrate the remarkable acoustics of Laura Turner Concert Hall.

fievProkofievPro Every time I conduct the Nashville Symphony, I’m reminded what an amazingly versatile orchestra we have. So when I programmed this year’s season, I was thinking about how to give our audiences a chance to experience the full scope of all that classical music has to offer. There’s something for everyone here. Our 7B package opens with Louis Lortie, one of classical music’s fastest-rising stars, performing Brahms’ Second Piano Concerto. We’ll close out the season with a full performance of Mahler’s Second Symphony featuring the legendary mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade. In between, you can look forward to Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring, a piece that sounds as thrilling and revolutionary today as it did a century ago, along with works by Mozart, Beethoven, Prokofiev, Dvorák, Richard Strauss and one of today’s most gifted composers, Richard Danielpour.

October 8, 2010 DAVID SANBORN Concert presented without orchestra

In a career spanning more than four decades, saxophonist David Sanborn has done it all: He played at Woodstock with the Butterfield Blues Band; he has recorded with such legends as Stevie Wonder, David Bowie and Paul Simon; and he has earned two GRAMMY® Awards for his own successful recordings. In the process, Sanborn has created a body of work that spans jazz, R&B, pop and rock, helping to define a new sound for his instrument. Still an active and vibrant performer today, he continues to make music that connects with the mind, the body and the soul.

A bugleplaying mime who wants to sing opera and a tap-dancing ballerina are just part of the conductor’s comic dilemma as these two zany characters bring “the art of listening” to life.

MAHLER Symphony No. 8 in E-flat major “Symphony of a Thousand” Everyone should hear Gustav Mahler’s “Symphony of a Thousand” at least once, and with good reason: This epic piece is one of the most breathtaking works in the entire classical repertoire, bringing together an immense orchestra, two large mixed choirs, a children’s chorus, organ, offstage brass and eight vocal soloists. The music is among Mahler’s most fully realized, an exuberant affirmation of life, and an embodiment of the composer’s assertion that “the symphony must be like the world. It must embrace everything.”

Notable for choosing to perform without a conductor, the musicians bring a keen sensitivity and dramatic flair to everything they play. For this rare Nashville appearance with renowned soloist Garrick Ohlsson, Orpheus will perform a program that spans more than a century of Viennese musical life, from Beethoven’s dramatic Fourth Piano Concerto to Schubert’s graceful “Tragic” Symphony to Berg’s passionate Lyric Suite.
