Overview

Nashville Symphony | David Danzmayr, conductor | Aaron Diehl, piano

Jazz meets classical as the multi-faceted pianist Aaron Diehl brings his trio for a rare performance of Mary Lou Williams’ Zodiac Suite, a suite of 12 pieces inspired by astrological signs and musicians born under them. Newcomer David Danzmayr opens his program with Golijov’s Sidereus, the composer’s depiction of Galileo’s celestial “Starry Messenger,” before delving into Schubert’s best-known work, the “Unfinished” symphony. The evening ends on a light note with Johann Strauss, Jr.’s Emperor Waltzes.
