New Content Alert: Silverman's Journey

SilvermanstillOne of the more unusual and innovative pieces on the program at last November's Thanksgiving Celebration concert was the Overture for strings by electric violinist Tracy Silverman. We've just posted two pieces of video that trace the journey of that piece from first rehearsal to the stage. It wasn't easy. Paul Gambill reports that after two rehearsals, he and Silverman discussed the possibility of dropping the piece, but Paul has seen how Orchestra Nashville comes together when the pressure's on, and the dropping idea was quickly dropped. In the rehearsal video, Silverman talks about the challenges of the piece and about what if felt like to hear it gel. The other video is the complete performance of the six minute work. This content is only available to Uncovered subscribers, so join up if you haven't. The season highlights CD is going to be awesome.
