Dr. Atomic & Mr. Haydn
Schermerhorn Symphony Center
SunTrust Classical Series presents Nashville Symphony, Giancarlo Guerrero, conductor, and Jonathan Biss, piano.
Haydn - Symphony No. 100 in G major, "Military"
John Adams - Doctor Atomic Symphony
Brahms - Concerto for Piano No. 1 in D minor, Op. 15
Dr. Atomic and Mr. Haydn? Haydn’s 100th Symphony earned its nickname thanks to the martial beat created by the combination of bass drum, triangle and cymbals. Written more than two centuries later, Doctor Atomic Symphony offers a different take on military might: Adapted from John Adams’s opera of the same name, this powerful piece tells the story of Dr. Robert Oppenheimer and the dawning of the nuclear era. Renowned for his impressive technique and deeply felt musicianship, pianist Jonathan Biss will join the orchestra for Brahms’s First Piano Concerto, an expansive work rich with lovely details.

Mozart - Concerto for Piano No. 20 in D minor, K.466

* Commissioned through Sphinx Organization Commissioning Consortium
Two unmistakably American voices: Daniel Bernard Roumain says his inventive musical meditation on the President of the United States “should be listened to, could be danced to, and [is] an orchestral event that must be seen.” Copland captured the soul of the nation in his music, and his Symphony No. 3 incorporates his famous Fanfare for the Common Man. In between these two pieces, Angela Hewitt joins the orchestra to perform Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20, one of the composer’s most dramatic works and one of only two he wrote in a minor key.
