Guerrero Conducts Pétrouchka

Nashville Symphony | Giancarlo Guerrero, conductor | Alessio Bax, piano

Maestro Giancarlo Guerrero continues his exploration of Stravinsky's great works with Pétrouchka. It's a musical whirlwind, telling the tale of love, rivalry, and tragedy between three puppets in a Russian fairground. Known for its technical demands and lightning-fast shifts in mood and meter, Pétrouchka is a musical feat—one Maestro Guerrero chose to spotlight the remarkable talent, precision and artistry of the Nashville Symphony Orchestra. 

The evening also features Brahms' majestic Piano Concerto No. 2, performed by the dazzling and expressive pianist Alessio Bax. Together, these two masterworks create a program that celebrates musical storytelling and showcases the full range of orchestral brilliance. 

Program:

• Johannes Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 2
• Igor Stravinsky: Pétrouchka (1947)
