3/1-3/2 Tchaikovsky Meets Techno
Electrifying! Equally at home in the concert hall and the nightclub, Mason Bates has made a splash with his cutting-edge music, which incorporates the rhythms and textures of electronic music with vibrant orchestral writing. The Nashville Symphony will be one of the first ensembles in the country to perform his brand-new Violin Concerto, a vehicle for the stunning talents of Anne Akiko Meyers. Creating a conversation across centuries, we’ll follow that with Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony, a cathartic work that — much like Beethoven’s Fifth — finds the composer triumphing over adversity. Copland’s colorful El Salón México opens the evening with lively Latin rhythms.3/7-3/9 Randy Travis
With a string of No. 1 hits and record sales topping 20 million, Grand Ole Opry star Randy Travis is a certifiable country music legend. Ever since his emergence as part of the celebrated “New Traditionalist” movement in the 1980s, he’s stayed true to country music’s roots, with an ear for classic songs and a voice like no one else’s. Enjoy an unforgettable evening packed with 25 years’ worth of hits, including “On the Other Hand” and “Forever and Ever Amen.”3/14-3/16 The Red Violin
In his Red Violin Concerto, composer John Corigliano adapted his music for the hit film into a concert piece that captures all the passion and drama of his original score. With moments of unabashed romanticism and sparkling energy, along with plenty of virtuoso fireworks, the concerto is a signature piece for Finnish violinist Elina Vähälä. Elgar’s Enigma Variations paints evocative portraits of the composer’s closest circle of friends, but with a tantalizing mystery at the heart of the music. And Chabrier’s España is a Frenchman’s take on the vivacious sounds of his neighboring Spain, with music that builds to a feverish pitch of excitement.3/23 The Silk Road Ensemble with Yo-Yo Ma
Experience our world through the eyes and ears of the acclaimed Silk Road Ensemble. Taking inspiration from the historical Silk Road trading routes, cellist Yo-Yo Ma formed the group to bring together artists and audiences around the globe. Over the course of five albums, these performers have traveled across countries, continents and cultures, changing the way we think about music and the world around us.3/28-3/30 Lord of ‘The Ring’
‘The Ring’ Without Words distills Wagner’s sprawling masterpiece into a spectacular symphonic journey through the composer’s mythical world of heroes and gods, dwarves and giants. Fusing the opera’s main musical ideas — including the classic “Ride of the Valkyries” theme — into one cohesive whole, this larger-than-life piece takes listeners from the depths of the Rhine to the great hall of Valhalla and into the underground caves of the Nibelung. Ravel’s Concerto for the Left Hand was originally commissioned for an Austrian pianist Paul Wittgenstein, who lost his right arm in World War I, and the music overflows with drama and moments of dazzling, explosive beauty.Always Patsy Cline
Ongoing EventWritten and Originally Directed by Ted Swindley,Always Patsy Cline is based on a true story of the friendship between Patsy Cline and one of her fans that last until Patsy's death. February 8th - March 2nd,2013
American Idiot
Ongoing EventDirect from Broadway, the smash-hit musical AMERICAN IDIOT tells the story of three lifelong friends, forced to choose between their dreams and the safety of suburbia. Their quest for true meaning in a post 9/11 world leads them on the most exhilarating theatrical journey of the season. Based on Green Day's GRAMMY Award-winning multi-platinum album, AMERICAN IDIOT boldly takes the American musical where it's never gone before. The result is an experience Charles Isherwood of The New York Times declares "thrilling, emotionally charged, and as moving as any Broadway musical I've seen this year!" American Idiot will be at TPAC's Jackson Hall in Nashville, TN - March 5 through March 7, 2013
Big River
Ongoing EventBig River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a musical based on Mark Twain's classic 1884 novel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, it features music in the bluegrass and country styles in keeping with the setting of the novel. February 21-March 3 at the Franklin Theatre
Cabaret
Ongoing EventWillkommen to the Kit Kat Club. Take your seat at a bar table, order a little something from your fetching cocktail waitress, and immerse yourself in the musical theatre event of a lifetime. You're not just at the show... you're in the show as Tennessee Rep transforms Johnson Theater into 1930s Berlin. Inside the cabaret, Sally Bowles and the beguiling Emcee live in a seedy, sexy world of delicious decadence, while outside, the gathering storm of Nazi oppression grows. Filled with hit Broadway songs and a story that still speaks profoundly to us today, Cabaret is a knock-out, once-in-a-lifetime theatrical experience. February 16 - March 9, 2013
