Nashville Scene

Classical

Sawbridgeworth Hertfordshire

Artist Bio:

You don't have to meet Nicholas McGegan to know his personality is irrepressible: That quality is central to his music-making, in the rhythmic bounce, tempos that border on the reckless and the musical wit that bubbles up whenever appropriate, whether in performance or on disc. "But that doesn't mean I'm not serious," says the conductor, who has also explored the depths of tragedy with the heroes and heroines of Handel operas: "I'm serious about things that matter, but I'm not pious, if you know what I mean."

Yulia Van Doren

Classical

New York NY

Artist Bio:

Consistently singled out by critics for her “perfect baroque voice” (Seattle Times), RussianAmerican soprano Yulia Van Doren has established herself as a rising star of the new generation of Baroque specialists, acclaimed for performances on the opera stage and with symphony and period orchestras around the world. Opera magazine calls her "A star-to-be... a spring-water timbre, expert decoration and fabulous staccatos, and a telling way with text." Northwest Reverb wrote, “It was immediately obvious why she is so highly regarded despite her relative youth: she sang in a dizzyingly intricate coloratura, flawless in timbre while executing rapid, difficult ornamentation with pinpoint accuracy, despite the merciless tempo.”

Nashville Symphony

Classical

Nashville TN

Artist Bio:

The Nashville Symphony was founded in 1920 from a group of amateur and professional musicians who formed their own orchestra and organized The Symphony Society. They had elected Nashville Banner music critic and Vanderbilt University professor George Pullen Jackson their president and manager. Despite steady growth over the next decade, the organization fell victim to The Depression. In 1945, World War II veteran and Nashville native Walter Sharp returned home intent to establish a new symphony for Middle Tennessee.
