Nashville Symphony with Giancarlo Guerrero, conductor

Haydn’s 100th Symphony earned its nickname thanks to the martial beat created by the combination of bass drum, triangle and cymbals. Written more than two centuries later, Doctor Atomic Symphony offers a different take on military might: Adapted from John Adams’s opera of the same name, this powerful piece tells the story of Dr. Robert Oppenheimer and the dawning of the nuclear era. Renowned for his impressive technique and deeply felt musicianship, pianist Jonathan Biss will join the orchestra for Brahms’s First Piano Concerto, an expansive work rich with lovely details.
