The student artists of the Nashville Symphony's Accelerando program present their spring recital.
The Nashville Symphony's Accelerando initiative is an intensive music education program designed to prepare gifted young students of diverse ethnic backgrounds to pursue music at the collegiate level and beyond. Accelerando seeks to create professional opportunities for musicians from ethnic communities that are underrepresented in today's orchestras by providing them with instruction, mentorship, performance experiences, and assistance with applying to music schools. With access to the resources of a major American orchestra, these students will be able to realize their full potential and will form the next generation of orchestra musicians.
Admission is FREE or Choose-What-You-Pay.
