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.

Nashville Symphony | Giancarlo Guerrero, conductor
Gustav Mahler, arr. Cooke: Symphony No. 10
Though the venerable composer Gustav Mahler completed only sketches of his Symphony No. 10 before his death in 1911, composers and musicologists spent much of the 20th century reconstructing it and filling in the gaps. Giancarlo Guerrero enlightens us with a fascinating exploration of this process before conducting Mahler’s final opus, considered by many to have been his greatest symphonic work.

Alban Berg: Seven Early Songs
Gustav Mahler: Songs of the Wayfarer
Carl Orff: Carmina burana
We end our season with Orff’s Carmina burana, in all its magnificent, carnal beauty. Giancarlo Guerrero programmed it — in its original form — to showcase the powerful forces of the Nashville Symphony and Chorus. On the first half of the program, our soloists in the Orff treat us to Alban Berg’s Seven Early Songs and the autobiographical Songs of the Wayfarer of Mahler, who compared his own life to “a traveling journeyman…wandering on in solitude.”
