Nashville Symphony comes to Lipscomb campus in June and July
Janel Shoun |
In the aftermath of the devastating May floods, two of Nashville’s premier cultural institutions were left without venues to perform. Both the Grand Ole Opry House and the Schermerhorn Symphony Center were damaged in the flooding.
Lipscomb University joined hands with these two music organizations to ensure that both the Nashville Symphony and the Grand Ole Opry continued to provide five-star performances throughout the summer.
The Nashville Symphony performed six times this summer in Collins Alumni Auditorium, featuring performances of Rachmaninoff, Beethoven and Brahms. The next Lipscomb-based symphony performance, of Haydn's Drum Roll Symphony, is July 9-10. The Grand Ole Opry performed twice in Allen Arena in June, featuring artists such as Lady Antebellum and Del McCoury, and
These eight performances have the potential to bring up to 13,000 newcomers to the Lipscomb campus.

First Tennessee Summer Festival presents Haydn's Drum Roll Symphony featuring Nashville Symphony, Giancarlo Guerrero, conductor and Christopher Lamb, percussion.
Gabrieli - Work to be announced
Joseph Schwantner - Concerto for Percussion and Orchestra
Haydn - Symphony No. 103 in E-flat major "Drum Roll”
Haydn’s 103rd Symphony is one of his final works in the genre and one of his most memorable, thanks to the dramatic drum roll that opens the work. The composer has been called “The Father of the Symphony,” and this piece is among his greatest achievements. The Drum Roll Symphony is nicely paired with American composer Joseph Schwantner’s Percussion Concerto, a dynamic showpiece full of ringing sonorities. Guest artist Christopher Lamb is principal percussionist of the New York Philharmonic and was the featured soloist at the piece’s world premiere.
