7 CONCERT SERIES A Woman’s Life
September 20-21-22, 2012 ____________________________________ A Woman’s Life is an inspiring adaptation of Maya Angelou’s poetry that traces the universal experiences of womanhood, from childhood to old age. Described as “a perfect cycle” by the composer, this piece is a breathtaking vehicle for soprano Angela Brown. Olga Kern will dazzle you on Rachmaninoff’s Third Piano Concerto, and everyone loves the William Tell Overture, known to all through The Lone Ranger and Looney Tunes. This concert will be recorded for future release.
Rossini - William Tell Overture Danielpour - A Woman’s Life Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto
No. 3 in D minor

THE POWER OF IMAGINATION
November 1-2-3, 2012 ____________________________________ A ground-breaking work, Symphonie Fantastique was written under the spell of all-consuming romantic infatuation, conjuring astonishing visions. This evening is full of gorgeous melodies, expansive harmonies and explosive writing.
Messiaen - Un Sourire (A Smile) Korngold - Violin Concerto in D major Berlioz - Symphonie Fantastique Jun Markl, guest conductor Stefan Jackiw, violin Artists, programs and schedule subject to change.
ALL THAT CLASSICAL JAZZ
November 29-30, December 1, 2012 ____________________________________ Gershwin’s Piano Concerto is an unmatched blend of symphonic form and syncopated swing, and the sensational pianist Terrence Wilson will bring it all brilliantly to life. Guest conductor Bramwell Tovey opens the evening with a performance of his own Urban Runway, a witty take on New York and L.A. fashionistas. In a striking contrast, William Walton’s First Symphony is a masterpiece of English orchestral music, overflowing with ambition and human urgency.
Tovey - Urban Runway Gershwin - Piano Concerto in F Walton - Symphony No. 1 in B-flat
minor Bramwell Tovey, guest conductor Terrence Wilson, piano
HARMONIC CONVERGENCE
February 7-8-9, 2013 ____________________________________ John Adams’ Harmonielehre combines minimalism with the expressive sound of late Romanticism to create music that, in the composer’s words, “touches you in the center of your soul.” Adams’ title refers to a book by the modernist master Schoenberg, represented here by his powerful A Survivor from Warsaw. Ives’ “cosmic drama” The Unanswered Question sets the tone for this evening with music that is at once universal and deeply personal, with moments of haunting beauty and restless energy.
Ives - The Unanswered Question Schoenberg - A Survivor from Warsaw Shostakovich - Cello Concerto No. 1 John Adams - Harmonielehre Giancarlo Guerrero, conductor Johannes Moser, cello Men of the Nashville Symphony Chorus

The Red Violin
March 14-15-16, 2013 ____________________________________ Corigliano adapted his music for the hit film The Red Violin into a concert piece that captures all the passion and drama of his original score. With moments of unabashed romanticism and sparkling energy, along with plenty of virtuoso fireworks, the concerto is a signature piece for Finnish violinist Elina Vähälä. Elgar’s Enigma Variations paints evocative portraits of his closest circle of friends, but with a tantalizing mystery at the heart of the music.

UNCOMMON FOLK
April 18-19-20, 2013 ____________________________________ Take a musical trip around the world as we perform with folk instruments rarely seen on the stage. Kodály’s Háry János: Suite features the Hungarian cimbalom, similar to the hammered dulcimer. Mexican composer Chavez’s Sinfonía India is a musical travelogue through Mexico, with each movement conjuring a unique world of sound.
Kodály - Háry János: Suite Ginastera - Harp Concerto Mozart - Piano Concerto No. 9 in E-flat major “Jeunehomme”

Lawrence S. Levine Memorial Concert
MENDELSSOHN’S ELIJAH
May 9-10-11, 2013 ____________________________________ Along with Handel’s Messiah, this piece is considered one of the greatest oratorios ever written, with music of sheer power and emotion. Conductor Nicholas McGegan returns to conduct the orchestra and chorus in Mendelssohn’s epic retelling of the Old Testament story. Biographer John Erskine put it best: Mendelssohn’s music “is as heroic as the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and the conception of the prophet Elijah…might have sprung from Michelangelo’s imagination.”

Expect to be equally transformed by the music of Stephen Paulus, whose work bursts with energy, rugged beauty and a uniquely American spirit. This concert will be recorded for future release.

January 10-11-12, 2013 ________________________________ Two very different tone poems bookend this concert, beginning with the wild rush of violins that opens the passionate Don Juan. This tale of the legendary lover is followed by Polish composer Szymanowski’s rarely performed Violin Concerto, an equally sensual piece that will feature the spirited musicianship of soloist Jennifer Koh. A late masterpiece, Mozart’s Symphony No. 39 practically erupts with virtuosity, and the evening finishes on a playful note with The Merry Prankster.

FAIRY TALES & FATE
November 15-16-17, 2012 ________________________________ Experience the wonder of childhood through Ravel’s magical Mother Goose, which brings centuries-old fairy tales to life with flights of fantasy and music of uncommon delicacy. Schumann’s Second Symphony is a triumph of the soul rallying against the forces of fate. One of the world’s most esteemed maestros, Hans Graf leads the orchestra as we welcome back pianist Ingrid Fliter, who is sure to captivate on Saint-Saëns’ Piano Concerto.

Lord of ‘the Ring’
February 28, March 1-2, 2013 _____________________________________ Electrifying! Equally at home in concert halls and nightclubs, composer Mason Bates incorporates the rhythms and textures of electronic music with vibrant orchestral writing. We will be one of the first ensembles in the country to perform his brand-new Violin Concerto, a vehicle for the stunning talents of Anne Akiko Meyers. Creating a conversation across centuries, we’ll follow that with Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony, a cathartic work that finds the composer triumphing over adversity. Copland’s colorful El Salón México opens the evening with lively Latin rhythms.
Copland - El Salón México Mason Bates - Violin Concerto Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 5 Giancarlo Guerrero, conductor Anne Akiko Meyers, violin
March 28-29-30, 2013 _____________________________________ ‘The Ring’ Without Words distills Wagner’s sprawling masterpiece into a spectacular journey through the composer’s mythical world of heroes and gods, dwarves and giants. Fusing the opera’s main musical ideas into one cohesive whole, this larger-than-life piece takes listeners from the depths of the Rhine to the great hall of Valhalla and into the underground caves of the Nibelung. Ravel’s Concerto for the Left Hand overflows with drama and moments of dazzling, explosive beauty.

Jean-Yves Thibaudet
Mysteries of Dark & Light
May 2-3-4, 2013 ____________________________________ Debussy’s Nocturnes is the musical equivalent of an impressionist painting, with orchestral colors conveying the sensation of twilight as clouds pass overhead. Featuring pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Scottish composer James MacMillan’s The Mysteries of Light serves as a springboard for meditation and reflection. The evening closes in a blaze of brilliance with Brahms’ Fourth, which sums up his genius with music of pathos and profound intensity.

TITANS May 30-31, June 1, 2013
Get ready to be blown away! We close our season with a BIG finish as we welcome two of the classical music world’s brightest stars — bassist Edgar Meyer and violinist Joshua Bell — to perform a brand-new double concerto co-commissioned by the Nashville Symphony. Mahler’s Titan Symphony launched the composer’s incredible symphonic career, in which he would go on to wrestle with the profoundest questions of human existence and — unbeknownst to him — change the course of Western music. To open the evening, we’ll present the work’s rarely performed “Blumine” movement, which the composer removed from the score.
