Nashville Public Library Hosts The Nashville Philharmonic Orchestra

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nashville Public Library will host the Nashville Philharmonic Orchestra Feb. 26 at 3 p.m. The community orchestra, with over 70 members, will be free and open to the public.

Under the baton of Music Director Christopher Norton, the Nashville Philharmonic’s music repertoire will include C.M. von Weber’s Overture to Oberon, C. Gounod’s Petite Symphonie for Wind Nonet, G.F. Handel’s Royal Fireworks and P. Grainger’s Irish Tune from County Derry.    

Featured performer is John Mock who will incorporate storytelling and photographs of the sea with his original instrumental compositions on the guitar, concertina and tin whistle. Mock’s own photography will be  projected onto a screen behind him. A native of Connecticut’s eastern shore, Mock’s work has taken him around the world. He has worked with the Dixie Chicks, James Taylor, Nanci Griffith, Maura O’Connell, Sylvia, Kathy Mattea and Mark O’Connor. His orchestral arrangements have been performed by orchestras throughout America and abroad, including the London Symphony, the National Symphony and the symphonies of Atlanta and Nashville.
