Nashville Symphony | Giancarlo Guerrero, conductor | Bang on a Can Allstars

One of the hallmarks of Giancarlo’s tenure has been the relationships he has developed with composers, inviting them to Nashville to make definitive recordings of their work. Julia Wolfe is one such composer: she describes her Flower Power, inspired by the 1960s counterculture movement, as “about optimism, idealism, psychedelia, breaking with convention, and a little bit of love and peace.” Beethoven self-proclaimed his Seventh Symphony as one of his best works—we couldn’t agree more.
