A little classical, a little pop, sprinkle in some family programming and the Nashville Symphony is in store for a wonderful 2023/24 season.
Nashville Symphony 2023/24 Season:
Classical Series
Music Director Giancarlo Guerrero has programmed some iconic symphonic works, including Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, Orff’s Carmina burana, and Mahler’s Symphony No. 10.
Alongside those beloved and time-honored masterpieces, we’ll showcase the extraordinary work of composers whose voices deserve to be heard, including Jessie Montgomery, Julia Perry, John Corigliano and Anna Clyne.
“Here in Music City, the Nashville Symphony audience is among the most adventurous in the world,” says Guerrero. “This means we can put our own Nashville stamp on every program by elevating under-represented voices and championing the American composers of our time.”
