Music City Baroque

Join us for our first concert of the season!​​​

​

​Sunday, September 29, at 3 pm

W.O. Smith Music School

1125 8th Avenue South,

Nashville 37203

​

Led by renowned violinist and fiddler Brandi Berry Benson the band/ensemble traces the history of the fiddle and the violin through centuries in music and tunes. From the origins of the instrument in the 16th century, fiddle and violin have had an inspired relationship with each other that only later split into defined genres of so-called art music and folk tunes.

​

A special welcome and shout-out to the young musicians in our community! Elements of this program are part of a couple of in-school workshops at MNPS schools, also led by Brandi Berry Benson.

​

Thanks to the support of the Ernest and Selma Rosenberg Fund for the Performing Arts of the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. We are able to offer this event as a “pay what you can” with a suggested donation of $20.
