Approved

Experience music to ignite your imagination and transport you to another place, from outer space and a 1940s jazz club to the magical land of Scheherazade and her One Thousand and One Nights. Shepherd School alumna Caroline Shaw’s The Observatory was inspired by the composer’s love of sci-fi, and by breathtaking views from Los Angeles’s Griffith Observatory. 2023 Shepherd School of Music Concerto Competition winner Najee Greenlee joins the orchestra for Copland’s Clarinet Concerto—originally written for Benny Goodman, it fuses lyrical beauty with toe-tapping jazz, ending with a Rhapsody in Blue-style glissando. Rimsky-Korsakov’s much-loved Scheherazade beckons us into a world brimming with dazzling sights, wonder, and enchantment. Giancarlo Guerrero, Grammy-winning Music Director of the Nashville Symphony, conducts.
