Tubist

Long ago, small groups of classical musicians entertained nobility in the elegant salons where they held court. The music was designed for the space – intimate, inviting, elegant in every detail.

Today, modern audiences can partake in this experience in a less formal setting, with a series of exquisite chamber concerts, each preceded by a wine reception.

Trombone & Tuba Masterclasses

You know John Williams from the movies. But there's another side to America's most iconic living composer.  Williams' Tuba Concerto* is a revelation: rollicking, adventurous, and proof that the tuba can do things you never imagined. Nashville Symphony principal tubist Chandler Currier takes the spotlight. Around that centerpiece, the evening opens with Dobrinka Tabakova's Orpheus' Comet, a brilliant five-minute burst of energy rooted in a 400-year-old melody from Monteverdi's opera, and Smetana's The Moldau, a river journey through the Bohemian countryside written by a composer who was completely deaf.
