Nashville Symphony: Beethoven & Shostakovich

• Zuill Bailey, cello
• Giancarlo Guerrero, conductor

Ludwig van Beethoven — Symphony No. 8 in F major, Op. 93
Dmitri Shostakovich — Cello Concerto No. 1 in E-flat major, Op. 107
Ludwig van Beethoven — Symphony No. 4 in B-flat major, Op. 60

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.

Performances on April 5 & 6.

Join us for Classical Conversations! One hour before the concert, enjoy a discussion of the evening's program in Balcony Lobby.

Please note that this event has a nine-ticket limit per household. For groups of ten or more, please submit our group inquiry form and we'll contact you for assistance.
