A THRILL AT THE SYMPHONY


The Nashville Symphony was absolutely thrilling. I saw 'The Organ Symphony'...conducted by Giancario Guerrero, with special guest violinist Hilary Hahn.
I decided to splurge and get seats in the 3rd row...which was exciting, but
we couldn't see the brass/wind sections in the back. There is something so
fantastic about a live orchestra, it is amazing to think it used to be the only way people would hear music. It is becoming a lost art, and I am thankful for the people who keep it alive. If you have not gone to a symphony, do it!!
After the show, I saw one of the violinists in the lobby and asked her for a picture. She thought I was asking her to take a picture of us, not with her...she was so surprised I wanted a pic with her, I was a geeky fan. We've stayed in touch, her name is Kirsten and she's insanely talented. It was a lovely night, rubbing elbows with high-society and the treat of intelligent music.

    Hi Lucy. A friend of mine said she saw a picture of me on your website so I decided to check it out. My name is Gerald Greer and I am the Associate Concertmaster of the Nashville Symphony. We appreciate you coming to see the orchestra and hope you will do so again. Please come introduce yourself next time you visit. The violinist you had your picture taken with is Kirsten Mitchell.

    Thanks for supporting the NSO and we are pleased you enjoyed our performance.

    Gerald C. Greer
