Overview

Nashville Symphony | Lidiya Yankovskaya, conductor | Simone Porter, violin

Reflecting her passion and advocacy for Slavic masterpieces, operatic gems, and contemporary music, Lidiya Yankovskaya’s Nashville debut covers all the bases and then some. “I love the incredible palate of orchestral colors in Missy Mazzoli’s music,” she says, complementing the opening work with jewels from the classic repertoire: Prokofiev’s provocative violin concerto with the incomparable Simone Porter, Wagner’s reverent “Liebestod,” and Dvořák’s rousing Seventh symphony.
