Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

Shermerhorn Symphony Center

Gershwin’s orchestral music defined the American sound, and Jean-Yves Thibaudet joins us for our centennial celebration of Rhapsody in Blue plus his Piano Concerto in F. Gershwin is complemented by Florence Price and William Dawson, whose compositions stemmed from the Black American Experience. At its 1934 Carnegie Hall premiere, Dawson’s Negro Folk Symphony, based on spirituals and emphatically symphonic, brought audiences to their feet. And Price’s Dances in the Canebrakes is drawn from Black folk songs and dances of the 1920s and ‘30s.

Zuill Bailey, a longtime friend of the Nashville Symphony, flawlessly navigates the virtuosic pyrotechnics of Dmitri Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No. 1 — specifically chosen for this concert by Giancarlo Guerrero. Two of Beethoven’s even-numbered symphonies surround the concerto, and though they are less-often performed in concert, they remain two of his most poignant and profound works.

Beethoven & Shostakovich

The Color Purple is a stirring and soulful musical that tells the story of Celie, a young woman who endures years of abuse and hardship at the hands of the men in her life. Along the way, Celie forms close bonds with other women, including the vibrant and independent Shug Avery and the strong and fierce Sofia. Through the power of sisterhood and self-discovery, Celie finds her voice and breaks free from the chains of oppression. Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Alice Walker and the hit 1985 movie, The Color Purple has an unforgettable score mixed with gospel, blues, and jazz. The Color Purple is a moving and inspiring story of hope and a celebration of life and the human spirit.

Hamlet, Shakespeare's tragic masterpiece about grief, madness, and revenge, is as relevant today as the day he wrote it. A young man grieving the murder of his father plots revenge on his uncle who did it. Is doing wrong ever right? That is the question. Hamlet is the most quoted play in the world: "To be or not to be," "To thine own self be true," "There's method to his madness," and many more. Hamlet is a powerful, poetic exploration of the human psyche through the lens of one tragically dysfunctional family.
