Nashville Symphony To Present Community Concerts This Summer
The free performances will take place this June in parks and community venues throughout the region.
The Nashville Symphony has announced dates and programs for their popular annual Community Concerts, a beloved summer tradition throughout Middle Tennessee. From June 3 through 13, the Orchestra will perform free concerts in local parks and communities in Davidson, Montgomery, Sumner, Williamson, and Wilson counties.
Nashville Symphony Conductor Nathan Aspinall will conduct a program featuring American classics including John Philip Sousa's The Stars and Stripes Forever; selections from John Williams's scores from Far and Away and Star Wars; Berlioz's Roman Carnival overture; Copland's Hoe-Down from Rodeo and an excerpt from Lincoln Portrait; Rodgers's The Sound of Music; and Strauss II's On the Beautiful Blue Danube Waltzes. Nashville Symphony Chorus Director Tucker Biddlecombe will also conduct a one-night-only program with the Nashville Symphony Chorus on Sunday, Jun 7 at The Factory at Franklin.
“We are thrilled to continue this longstanding tradition of bringing the orchestra to communities around Middle Tennessee, and we are equally excited to add a choral performance to the series,” said Kelley Bell, Director of Community Engagement. “These concerts are the perfect chance to connect with your neighbors, celebrate community, and enjoy the magic of the Nashville Symphony.”
Several concert locations will offer family-friendly pre-concert activities and food options. Concertgoers are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs and arrive early to enjoy beautiful summer evenings and live symphonic music in the parks.
