Natalie Merchant

Nashville Symphony

For 60 years, Ladysmith Black Mambazo has sung powerful, uplifting songs that emote the struggles and passion of South Africa. Nelson Mandela called Ladysmith “South Africa’s cultural ambassadors.” The group sings a cappella in a joyously energetic performance that combines loud powerful choruses with softer, almost whispering chants where voices blend harmoniously alongside tightly choreographed dance moves.

Natalie Merchant, the wildly popular, award-winning, and multi-platinum-selling singer-songwriter, is set to return to the Schermerhorn Symphony Center for the first time since 2011. In a special collaboration with the Nashville Symphony, conducted by James Bagwell, Merchant will perform lush, orchestrated versions of songs from her April 2023 release, "Keep Your Courage." This performance will also feature her timeless hits such as "Wonder," "Carnival," "Kind and Generous," "Ophelia," "Jealousy," "Beloved Wife," "San Andreas Fault," "My Skin," and "River," among other favorites. This event promises a rich musical experience, blending Merchant's evocative voice and poignant lyrics with the grandeur of a full symphony orchestra.
