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

Program

Ludwig van Beethoven: Violin Concerto
Richard Strauss: An Alpine Symphony

Gil Shaham’s virtuosity, warmth, and audience connection make him a favorite guest in Nashville, and to hear him perform Beethoven’s Violin Concerto is a rare opportunity. Strauss’s An Alpine Symphony uses the sheer force of the orchestra, fortified by extra winds, brass, and percussion, including cowbells plus a giant wind machine that depicts a huge storm.

Nashville Symphony | Giancarlo Guerrero, conductor

Program

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. On the first half of this concert, Giancarlo Guerrero and the orchestra will demonstrate segments of the epic work to enlighten audiences with a fascinating exploration of the unique composition. After intermission, the Orchestra will perform Mahler's Tenth, perhaps his greatest symphony, in its entirety.

Please note that there will be no Classical Conversations before these performances.

Program

Alban Berg: Seven Early Songs
Gustav Mahler: Songs of a 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.”
