Check out our new ALBUM OF THE WEEK!
This week's choice is very special - let's celebrate PRIDE MONTH together:
All Things Majestic, by Jennifer Higdon
Jennifer Higdon is an awarded and well-known composer in the US. She won the Pulitzer prize and three Grammies, along with other honors, in her career. She learned how to play the flute herself by the age of 15 and began her former musical studies at 18, and to compose at 21. She got married to her longtime partner, Cheryl Lawson, in 2014 - they met in High School. The wedding was officiated by the conductor Marin Alsop.
We invite you to listen and share this album - because equality should be celebrated EVERYDAY!
Happy listening!
About the album:
Jennifer Higdon is one of the most distinguished composers working in America today, and her music is a perfect fit for the Nashville Symphony, which has long maintained a commitment to championing the country's most important voices. All Things Magestic is a four-movement suite which vividly captures the breathtaking beauty of the American landscape, and her wonderfully expressive concertos for viola and oboe bring out the unique textures and sonorities of these frequently overlooked solo instruments.
