Inextinguishable
Carl Nielsen wrote his fourth symphony amidst the horror and destruction of the First World War. But he believed so fervently in the power to survive, that he gave his symphony the title "Inextinguishable." We'll hear a performance by the inextinguishable Nashville Symphony. Their concert hall was nearly destroyed in a devastating flood that hit Nashville in 2010. This concert took place right after Schermerhorn Symphony Center reopened, after eight months of repairs.
