The Complete Work

Add some fire to your evening with Nashville Symphony Orchestra's thrilling complete performance of Stravinksy's The Firebird, as conducted by Giancarlo Guerrero! Upon its premiere in Paris in 1910, the work proved a breakthrough for the then 27 year-old composer, becoming an instant classic and solidifying a long and celebrated career thanks to its glittering imagery, Russian folk-tinged rhythms and rising climactic movements.

As well as The Firebird, Nashville Symphony has another treat in store in the form of world famous violinist Gil Shaham performing Mason Bates' Nomad Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, a piece written specifically for the violinist by the composer, with this performance being recorded. Verdi's La Forza Del Destino opens the program on what is certain to be a special concert to witness!
