Tickets Starting at $29


Nashville Symphony | Giancarlo Guerrero, conductor | Gil Shaham, violin

Program

Giuseppe Verdi: Overture to La forza del destino
Mason Bates: Nomad Concerto for Violin and Orchestra | Live Recording
Igor Stravinsky: The Firebird Complete version

“The Nomad Concerto broods, floats, and glimmers in its opening movement, ultimately alighting on something poignant for both orchestra and violin,” wrote the Philadelphia Inquirer upon the Mason Bates premiere with violinist Gil Shaham, for whom it was written. Giancarlo, Shaham, and the Nashville Symphony record it live, for posterity. Noted historian Michael Steinberg called Stravinsky’s score to The Firebird  one of music’s great showpieces of orchestration—often astonishing and everywhere beautiful,” and a “remarkable tour-de-force" of the symphonic repertoire.
