String Spring Fling

Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology

Experience an evening where jazz meets classical in a unique musical fusion. The Nashville Symphony, under the baton of conductor David Danzmayr, presents a captivating program that begins with Osvaldo Golijov’s "Sidereus," a piece inspired by Galileo’s celestial observations. The concert then features the multi-faceted pianist Aaron Diehl and his trio, performing Mary Lou Williams’ "Zodiac Suite." This suite, composed of 12 pieces, draws inspiration from astrological signs and the musicians born under them, offering a rare blend of jazz and classical elements.

The program continues with Franz Schubert’s Symphony No. 8, famously known as the "Unfinished Symphony." This work, one of Schubert’s most celebrated compositions, remains a cornerstone of the classical repertoire despite its incomplete status. The evening concludes on a lighter note with Johann Strauss, Jr.’s "Emperor Waltzes," a delightful piece that encapsulates the elegance and charm of the Viennese waltz tradition.

Before the concert, attendees can enrich their experience by participating in "Classical Conversations," a discussion held in the Balcony Lobby that delves into the evening’s program. This event promises a rich tapestry of musical exploration, blending the innovative spirit of jazz with the timeless beauty of classical music.
