Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 8 (“Symphony of a Thousand”)

Giancarlo Guerrero’s tenure as Music Director comes to a close with Mahler’s colossal “Symphony of a Thousand,” employing massive forces with eight vocal soloists, youth treble choir, an over-sized orchestra, and a multitude of percussion. Written in two parts, the symphony is one of the largest-scale choral works in the classical concert repertoire and is unified by musical themes of redemption through the power of love. A fitting tribute to our Maestro and all he has brought to our orchestra and to our city.

Experience the multi-Academy Award® winning 1984 motion picture, Amadeus on a vast HD screen while Mozart’s most celebrated works are performed live in-sync by a full orchestra and choir.  

Winner of 8 Academy Awards®, including Best Picture, Milos Foreman’s sumptuous Amadeus is an aural and visual treat for all the senses. 

Adapted from Peter Shaffer’s original stage play, Amadeus the motion picture, stays true to its origins highlighting the contrast between, as Shaffer himself described, “the sublimity of his [Mozart] music and the vulgar buffoonery of his letters” which, “read like something written by an eight-year-old.” 

“Amadeus weaves a beautiful, tragic fable, enchanting to children and adults alike. It has gore, a pact with God, celebrity, a masked stranger, murder and some of the best music ever written. What other film offers half as much?” (The Guardian).

Nashville Symphony | Enrico Lopez-Yañez, conductor | Ben Rector

Experience Ben Rector and the full orchestration of the Nashville Symphony, conducted by Enrico Lopez-Yañez, live at the Schermerhorn! In this special concert series, a nod to the 250th Anniversary of the U.S.A., hear a beloved homage to America's patriotic songbook alongside some of Ben’s wildly popular originals. This collection was written to celebrate American cities and states, inspired by Rector's fifteen years of cross-country travel as a touring artist. The pieces are equal parts golden era pop song, Broadway number, and modern hymn, combining the quippy humor of Rector's viral ditties with the stage presence, musicality, and songwriting chops that have secured his national cult following for more than a decade.

Platinum-selling indie superstar Ben Rector is best known for hits like "Brand New,” “Love Like This,” and “Living My Best Life.”
