Overview

Giancarlo Guerrero, conductor | Zuill Bailey, cello

Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 8

Dmitri Shostakovich: Cello Concerto No. 1

Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 4

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.
