The 2021 run will mark the symphonyâs 75th anniversary season.
Highlights will include performances of Beethovenâs âFirstâ and âNinth,â âThe Firebirdâ with the Nashville Ballet, and two recording projects for which guest artists include Hamiltonâs Tony Award winning singer and actor Leslie Odom, Jr., Police drummer Stewart Copeland, iconic trumpeter Wynton Marsalis and Indie singer-songwriter Ben Folds.
The full 100 concert lineup features not only classical music, but also pops, jazz, family and film scores performed by the Grammy-winning orchestra alongside a few top-flight guest artists.
The season will begin Sept. 16-18, with âFanfare for Music City,â a program opening with Coplandâs âFanfare for the Common Manâ and Joan Towerâs âFanfare for the Uncommon Woman,â two works that will celebrate the essential workers who have played critical roles throughout the pandemic.
