Nashville Symphony’s Popular Community Concerts Series Returns to Local Parks This June
WHO: Nashville Symphony, conducted by Nathan Aspinall
WHAT: The Nashville Symphony is thrilled to announce the return of its free Community Concerts Series at local parks in the mid-state area this June – its first Community Concerts since 2019. Join the orchestra for an evening of beautiful music under the stars, led by Assistant Conductor Nathan Aspinall.
The program of popular classical favorites includes music from John Williams, Aaron Copland, Antonin Dvořák, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, John Philip Sousa, selections from The Sound of Music, and more.
“There’s nothing more rewarding than witnessing the ways that music brings people and communities together,” Aspinall says. “I’m especially gratified to lead the Nashville Symphony’s return to our local parks this summer because we’ve all really missed this special opportunity to meet audiences where they live, work and play. We’ll have a wonderful program of beloved favorites that promise to entertain and inspire, whether you’re a devoted classical music fan or simply seeking an evening of fun under the stars.”
