    SunTrust Classical Series presents Brahms and 'Big Sur' featuring Nashville Symphony, Carlos Kalmar, conductor, and Tracy Silverman, electric violin.

    Brahms: Symphony No. 3 in F major, Op. 90 John Adams: The Dharma at Big Sur for Electric Violin and Orchestra Alberto Ginastera: Estancia: Four Dances, Op. 8a.

    Conductor Carlos Kalmar conducts a wonderfully varied program that begins with Brahms’ profoundly expressive Symphony No. 3. One of the composer’s greatest successes, the work mixes moments of heroism with more subdued, reflective passages. A piece of transcendent beauty, John Adams’ The Dharma at Big Sur will serve as a platform for the dazzling talents of Nashville-based electric violinist Tracy Silverman. With their folk melodies and vigorous rhythms, the Four Dances from Ginastera’s ballet Estancia evoke visions of South American cowboys riding through Argentina’s expansive prairies.
