LA Philharmonic Donates $25,000 to Nashville Symphony, Performs in Nashville 5/15

In the wake of the devastating floods in Nashville, the Nashville Symphony's presentation of Gustavo Dudamel with pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, scheduled for Saturday, May 15, has moved to the Tennessee Performing Arts Center (TPAC). The performance was originally scheduled to take place at Schermerhorn Symphony Center, home of the Nashville Symphony, which sustained substantial water damage in the floods. To help replace Steinway pianos lost in the damage, a gift of $25,000 will be donated jointly to the Nashville Symphony from musicians of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Gustavo Dudamel, Jean-Yves Thibaudet and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association. Thibaudet, who hand-picked the Nashville Symphony's Hamburg Steinway lost in the flood, has agreed to select another new piano.

Current ticket holders will automatically be reseated in the new venue. Patrons interested in purchasing tickets to the concert should contact the TPAC box office at 615-782-4040. Any ticketing questions should be directed to the Nashville Symphony Box office at 615-687-6400.
