Nashville Symphony | Giancarlo Guerrero, conductor | Gil Shaham, violin

PROGRAM

Ludwig van Beethoven: Violin Concerto
Richard Strauss: An Alpine Symphony

Gil Shaham’s virtuosity, warmth, and audience connection make him a favorite guest in Nashville, and to hear him perform Beethoven’s Violin Concerto is a rare opportunity. Strauss’s An Alpine Symphony uses the sheer force of the orchestra, fortified by extra winds, brass, and percussion, including cowbells plus a giant wind machine that depicts a huge storm.
