We're Back (mostly!)

The entire administrative staff moved back into their Schermerhorn Symphony Center offices yesterday after almost 8 months of flood-related displacement. WSMV was on hand with cameras to capture some of the move, as well as some of the concert hall's fine tuning. The center's box office is now open, and the fences surrounding the hall will be coming down soon!

More Grammy Nominations for the Nashville Symphony

The Nashville Symphony's recording of Michael Daugherty's Metropolis Symphony and his piano concerto, Deus Ex Machina, was nominated for five Grammy Awards, as announced last night. The orchestra, Music Director and conductor Giancarlo Guerrero, pianist Terrence Wilson, composer Daugherty and album's engineers -- Mark Donahue, John Hill and Dirk Sobotka -- were honored in the categories of "Best Classical Album," "Best Orchestral Performance," "Best Instrumental Soloist (with Orchestra)," "Best Classical Contemporary Composition" and "Best Engineered Album (Classical)." What's more, the album's producer, Blanton Alspaugh, is nominated for "Producer of the Year." Congratulations to all!

If you don't already own this album, I highly suggest picking up a copy from our Naxos Direct store.
