2017/2018 SEASON:
 

Sergei Prokofiev’s timeless classic comes to life with the Nashville Symphony and live narration.

 

Explore the wonderful brass family of instruments with exciting pieces from Gershwin’s Cuban Overture, Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man, Handy’s St. Louis Blues, and more!

 

High School students will get a special preview performance of the music and film before it opens to the public. Featuring music from John Adams’ electrifying Short Ride in a Fast Machine and Strauss’ epic tone poem Also sprach Zarathustra, this concert will include stunning high-definition images of Earth taken from NASA missions.

 

Through many hardships, obstacles, and persecution, even the very creation of art is an expression of defiance, survival, and most of all hope. Join us as we learn about some of the greatest composers in history, the obstacles they overcame, and the timeless music they gave to the world.
