Knoxville Symphony Orchestra: Knoxville Postcards

Part of the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra’s 2017-2018 Moxley Carmichael Masterworks Series, which marks the KSO’s 82nd season. The KSO will open its 82nd season with a collection of various performers paying homage to our great city.

Morris. Joining the Knoxville Symphony will be the University of Tennessee Brass Ensemble for a newly commissioned work by American composer Michael Schachter. The Carson-Newman A Capella Choir will perform Aaron Copland’s Suite from The Tender Land, and the program concludes with Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances, all composers and pieces with ties to Knoxville for this program which pays homage to the city.
