MUCH LIKE NASHVILLE ITSELF, MUSIC CITY'S RESIDENT ORCHESTRA CELEBRATES BOTH TRADITION AND INNOVATION. AT THIS INTERSECTION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE AND CUTTING-EDGE CREATIVITY, THE NASHVILLE SYMPHONY PRESERVES, PROMOTES AND EXPANDS THE AMERICAN ORCHESTRAL REPERTOIRE WHILE PAYING HOMAGE TO THE MASTERS. DURING THE 2013/14 SEASON, MIDDLE TENNESSEE AUDIENCES ENJOYED SOME OF THE MOST POWERFUL AND LASTING MUSIC IN THE REPERTOIRE, INCLUDING PERFORMANCES OF PROKOFIEV'S PIANO CONCERTO NO. 3, BEETHOVEN'S SYMPHONY NO. 3, STRAVINSKY'S FIREBIRD SUITE, MAHLER'S SYMPHONY NO. 7 AND VAUGHAN WILLIAMS' EPIC SYMPHONY NO. 1 "A SEA SYMPHONY." TRUE TO ITS MISSION OF CHAMPIONING THIS COUNTRY'S GREATEST COMPOSERS, THE ORCHESTRA ALSO EXPLORED THE FULL RANGE OF AMERICAN MUSIC IN ITS AEGIS SCIENCES CLASSICAL SERIES, WITH CLASSICS BY BARBER, BERNSTEIN AND COPLAND, CROWD-PLEASING PIECES BY JOHN WILLIAMS AND JOHN ADAMS, AND RECENT WORKS BY JOAN TOWER, STEPHEN PAULUS AND NASHVILLE-BASED POP STAR BEN FOLDS. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, A STAR-STUDDED LINEUP OF SOLOISTS VISITED SCHERMERHORN SYMPHONY CENTER TO PERFORM EVERYTHING FROM CLASSICAL TO POP TO JAZZ, WITH HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDING VIOLINIST ITZHAK PERLMAN, SAXOPHONIST BRANFORD MARSALIS AND PIANIST JEREMY DENK. WORLD-RENOWNED SOPRANO RENÉE FLEMING JOINED THE NASHVILLE SYMPHONY IN SEPTEMBER TO CELEBRATE THE OPENING OF THE SEASON, ENTRANCING THE AUDIENCE WITH HER RENDITIONS OF GERSHWIN'S "SUMMERTIME" AND LEONARD COHEN'S "HALLELUJAH." THE NASHVILLE SYMPHONY CHORUS BROUGHT THE CLASSICAL SERIES TO A CLOSE IN MAY WITH BREATHTAKING PERFORMANCES OF BRAHMS' A GERMAN REQUIEM. NASHVILLE IS UNIQUE AMONG AMERICAN CITIES FOR ITS WEALTH OF MUSICAL TALENT, AND THE NASHVILLE SYMPHONY LOVES TO COLLABORATE WITH ITS HOMETOWN ARTISTS, FROM BASSIST EDGAR MEYER TO BANJOIST BÉLA FLECK TO COMPOSER CONNI ELLISOR. DURING THE 2013/14 SEASON, THE NASHVILLE SYMPHONY TEAMED WITH NASHVILLE BALLET AND MINNESOTA ORCHESTRA TO COMMISSION A NEW CONCERTO FOR PIANO AND ORCHESTRA BY POP STAR BEN FOLDS. A STRONG SUPPORTER AND CURRENT SYMPHONY BOARD MEMBER, FOLDS JOINED THE ORCHESTRA ON MARCH 13-15, 2014, TO GIVE THE WORLD PREMIERE PERFORMANCES OF HIS NEW COMPOSITION, WHICH HE WILL PERFORM WITH MORE THAN 30 ORCHESTRAS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND AROUND THE WORLD OVER THE NEXT YEAR. AS PART OF ITS QUEST TO SHARE ITS MUSIC WITH LISTENERS BOTH NEAR AND FAR, THE NASHVILLE SYMPHONY HAS ALSO MAINTAINED AN ACTIVE RECORDING SCHEDULE OVER THE PAST 15 YEARS. THE 2013/14 SEASON WAS ESPECIALLY BUSY FOR THE NASHVILLE SYMPHONY, WITH THE RELEASE OF RECORDING PROJECTS BY BÉLA FLECK, RICHARD DANIELPOUR AND ROBERTO SIERRA, AND RECORDING SESSIONS FOR FORTHCOMING RELEASES BY JOAN TOWER, BEN FOLDS AND STEPHEN PAULUS.
