I don’t know about you guys, but I get so dead tired of all the same old stuff in and around Nashville. If you’ve listened to the SoBros Power Hour before, you know what an old curmudgeon I can be. There’s more to Nashville than gettin’ drunk on Broadway, and while I’m sure I’ve typed that sentence onto this website so often that Google has probably tagged it as spam and/or duplicate content, it still rings true every time I type it out. That’s why I always like to hear about the alternative means of entertainment going on around town. Yesterday, I caught wind that our friends at The Nashville Symphony will be bringing back their FREE Community Concerts series this June.
Via press release:
The Nashville Symphony has announced dates and programs for their popular annual Community Concerts, a beloved summer tradition throughout Middle Tennessee. From June 7 through 11, the Orchestra will perform free concerts in local parks and communities in Davidson, Macon, Sumner, and Wilson counties.
Nashville Symphony Associate Conductor Nathan Aspinall will conduct a program featuring American classics including Aaron Copland’s “Hoe Down” from Rodeo, Samuel Ward’s America the Beautiful, and Bob Lowden’s Armed Forces Salute; John Williams’ “Flight to Neverland” from the score of the movie Hook; “Kum Ba Yah” from Adolphus Hailstork’s Three Spirituals for Orchestra. The Orchestra will also perform popular excerpts from Georges Bizet’s Carmen; and a summertime favorite, Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture.
“The Nashville Symphony audience extends well beyond the walls of Schermerhorn Symphony Center, and our parks concerts are one of the best ways we can connect with our extended community,” said Tonya McBride Robles, Nashville Symphony Chief Operating Officer. “We invite our neighbors, one and all, to pack a picnic and join us in one of our beautiful parks.”
Several of the concert locations will offer pre-concert activities and food options, and concertgoers are encouraged to pack a picnic and come early to enjoy a beautiful summer evening in the parks. More information can be found at NashvilleSymphony.org/CommunityConcerts.
There you go, folks. You can get you some culture, and I know if you’re in on SoBros Network, you could probably use some culture. That’s not a knock – I need it too every once in awhile, y’know? And, hey – if you’re out east of town like I am, they’re going to hit Lebanon on Saturday, June 10th at 7:30PM – 1 Cumberland Square. Make it a day trip, head out to Cedar City Brewing, and have yourself a good old-fashioned summer day without the stress of commuting downtown. Thank you for this, Nashville Symphony.
