Nashville Symphony | Enrico Lopez-Yañez, conductor Massamba Diop, tama

In 2018, Marvel Studios’ Black Panther quickly became a global sensation and cultural phenomenon, showing a new dimension of what Super Hero films could be. Rolling Stone raved, “The film lights up the screen with a full-throttle blast of action and fun. That’s to be expected. But what sneaks up and floors you is the film’s racial conscience and profound, astonishing beauty.” Now you can relive the excitement of T’Challa becoming king and battling Killmonger all while the Nashville Symphony performs Ludwig Göransson’s Oscar®-winning score live to picture. 

One of the most renowned masters of the tama, African drummer Massamba Diop will perform live with the Nashville Symphony during Black Panther. A "talking drum" from Senegal, and prominently featured throughout the movie, the tama is known for its abilities to replicate the sounds of human speech.

A Nashville Symphony audience favorite, pianist Joyce Yang captivates listeners with her virtuosity, lyricism, and interpretive sensitivity. Recent appearances with the Orchestra include performances of Grieg’s Piano Concerto in 2022, Chopin’s Second Piano Concerto in 2021, Rachmaninoff’s Concerto No. 2 in 2018, and Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto at Ascend Amphitheater in 2017. Winner of the 2010 Avery Fisher Career Grant and a GRAMMY® nominee for Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance, Yang showcases her colorful musical personality in solo recitals and collaborations with the world’s top orchestras and chamber musicians. 

 
Yang’s innovative solo recitals have been described as kaleidoscopic, featuring contemporary voices alongside classics in the repertoire. Her Schermerhorn recital builds on that practice, with Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s rarely heard The Seasons; Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Six Preludes from Op. 32; Egon Petri’s arrangement of J.S. Bach’s Sheep May Safely Graze; and Aaron Jay Kernis’ Un Bacio–A Kiss on themes by John Corigliano and Mark Adamo. For the grand finale, she’ll perform Igor Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite in a dazzling and technically daring arrangement for piano by Guido Agosti.
