She’s back! Violinist Tianwa Yang absolutely wowed audiences the last time she appeared with Nashville Symphony. Only in her mid-20s, she has already earned a reputation as a master of the violin repertoire, and she returns to perform French composer Edouard Lalo’s lively Symphonie espagnole. Igor Stravinsky originally composed Petrouchka as the score for a ballet about a puppet who comes magically to life — and just like his other most celebrated works, this piece is a concert hall favorite.
