Overview
Barber, Winger and Copland
Nashville Symphony | Giancarlo Guerrero, conductor | Peter Otto, violin
Walter Buchanan Sharp Concertmaster Peter Otto takes center stage for the world premiere of a new concerto by rock artist and GRAMMY®-nominated classical composer Kip Winger. Giancarlo opens this all-American program with Barber’s playful and comedic overture. Copland’s third symphony—which incorporates his best-known work, Fanfare for the Common Man — was commissioned by the legendary conductor Serge Koussevitzky, a prolific catalyst for American music who continues to be an inspiration to Giancarlo.
