Symphony Guild marks 50th year
According to Guild President Caren Shaffer, The Nashville Symphony, featuring Maestro Kenneth Schermerhorn and tenor Mike Eldred, will perform Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman by Tower, Capriccio-Italian by Tchaikovsky and Verdi’s Anvil Chorus from II Trovatore, among others. A video and timeline highlighting 50 years of Guild history, including nostalgic photos of the Guild’s beloved Italian Street fair, will also premiere at the event.
“The Symphony Guild’s 50th anniversary gives us an opportunity to look back as we plan the future,” says Shaffer. “Yesterday’s volunteers have given us a vibrant base of experience from which to learn and build a continuing vision.
“The Guild’s varied activities – primarily focused on raising funds to help sustain The Nashville Symphony – offer opportunities to be closely involved with music and the musicians who make it; to provide music to young school children and fund scholarships for them; and to be ambassadors for the many and varied activities in which The Symphony is involved,” she added.
“Symphony Guild membership includes women and men who want to be a beacon of light to our community – supporting an organization that plays a vital role in enhancing the quality of life to those loving in and around Nashville.”
