Schermerhorn is Back
It took almost three years to build Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville, Tennessee. And only a few days to nearly destroy it. Devastating floods hit the region last spring. Schermerhorn took on 24 feet of flood water. But after an intensive rehabilitation effort, the hall is back. PT host Fred Child was there last week to mark the event. We'll hear the Nashville Symphony in Beethoven's Fourth Symphony, from that special concert last week at the Schermerhorn.
