SunTrust Classical Series: Mysteries of Dark and Light
Schermerhorn Symphony Center
Debussy’s captivating Nocturnes is the musical equivalent of an impressionist painting, with orchestral colors conveying the sensation of twilight as clouds pass overhead. The women of the Nashville Symphony Chorus will lend their voices to conjure visions of mermaids swimming in the sea. Featuring pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Scottish composer James MacMillan’s The Mysteries of Light revives the ancient practice of using Catholic liturgy as inspiration, with the resulting music serving as a springboard for meditation and reflection. The evening closes in a blaze of brilliance with Brahms’ Fourth Symphony, which sums up his genius with music of pathos and profound intensity.

Disney's The Lion King
TPAC - Andrew Jackson Hall
Experience the phenomenon of Disney’s THE LION KING when Nashville’s best-loved musical makes a triumphant return to TPAC’s Andrew Jackson Hall following its record-breaking 2006 engagement! Visually stunning, technically astounding and with a musical score like none other you’ve ever heard. Giraffes strut, birds swoop, gazelles leap. The entire savannah comes to life and as the music soars, Pride Rock slowly emerges from the mist. See the Tony Award-winning Broadway sensation that Newsweek calls “a landmark event in entertainment.” The New York Times says, “There is simply nothing else like it.” Marvel at the breathtaking spectacle of animals brought to life by a cast of more than 40 actors. Wonder at the inspiration of award-winning director Julie Taymor, who created visual images for this show that you’ll remember forever. Thrill to the pulsating rhythms of the African Pridelands and an unforgettable score including Elton John and Tim Rice’s Oscar-winning song “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” and “Circle of Life.”

SunTrust Classical Series: Mendelssohn's 'Elijah'
Schermerhorn Symphony Center
Conductor Nicholas McGegan returns to conduct the orchestra and chorus in Mendelssohn’s epic retelling of the Old Testament story of the prophet Elijah. Along with Handel’s Messiah, this piece is considered one of the greatest oratorios ever written, with music of sheer power and emotion. Biographer John Erskine put it best: Mendelssohn’s music “is as heroic as the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and the conception of the prophet Elijah…might have sprung from Michelangelo’s imagination.”

Señoritas y Toros
Martin Center for Nashville Ballet
Two ballets with Spanish flair -- Paquita and Ferdinand the Bull -- introduce young children to the world of movement and music. Children will learn about Paquita, a Spanish girl born to nobles and raised by gypsies, who learns of her origin through a twist of fate and becomes a princess. With bright, colorful costumes inspired by cubist Pablo Picasso, Ferdinand the Bull tells the story of a peaceful bull who only wants to smell the flowers in the meadow, making him unfit for the bullfighting rings in Spain.
Narration, whimsical costumes and a short performance time make Señoritas y Toros a great way to introduce dance to children of all ages. Children and families can learn to dance like Ferdinand and Paquita during an interactive portion after the performance.

Macbeth
Martin Center for Nashville Ballet
Shakespeare’s tragedy about fate, greed, power and consequence will be staged for an audience of only 200 per performance in this intimate, workshop-style setting.
This collaboration between Vasterling and Vanderbilt University School of Music Associate Professor Michael Kurek explores the psychology behind the relationships in the play, particularly the role of the witches in Macbeth’s story. This story-telling poses the question of whether the witches predict the inevitable future or manipulate Macbeth to do their bidding.

SunTrust Classical Series: TITANS
Schermerhorn Symphony Center
Get ready to be blown away! We close our season with a BIG finish as we welcome two of the classical music world’s brightest stars — bassist Edgar Meyer and violinist Joshua Bell — to perform a brand-new double concerto co-commissioned by the Nashville Symphony. Mahler’s Titan Symphony launched the composer’s incredible symphonic career, in which he would go on to wrestle with the profoundest questions of human existence and — unbeknownst to him — change the course of Western music. To open the evening, we’ll present the work’s rarely performed “Blumine” movement, which the composer removed from the score.
