The concert begins with Pizzicato by contemporary composer Vivian Fung. Next, immerse yourself in the ethereal beauty of Postcards from the Sky by Marjan Mozetich. The program continues with Nino Rota's Concerto for String Orchestra, a work known for its rich textures and dynamic contrasts, showcasing the strings in a vibrant and expressive performance. The evening culminates with Rodion Shchedrin's Carmen Suite, a brilliant reimagining of Bizet's opera.
If there is one piece that has internalized the season's theme of "transgression" to the core, then it is Tchaikovsky's "Symphonie Pathétique". Lament and sadness are unmistakable in the first movement, and even the beautiful, tender second movement tells of unfulfilled happiness: as a waltz in the "wrong" 5/4 time, it perhaps symbolizes the pain of a social outsider who remained Tchaikovsky (as a cosmopolitan in Russia, as a Russian abroad, as a homosexual in bourgeois society) despite all his successes. Does the triumphant third movement even convey disgust at these successes? At the latest in the slow final movement, entitled "Adagio lamentoso", a feeling breaks through that we can probably all identify with at certain times: the irreconcilable lament about transience. The young New Zealand conductor Gemma New combines Tchaikovsky with two contemporary works: a concerto that Efraín Oscher wrote for the soloist Edicson Ruiz on his highly virtuoso double bass, which combines neo-baroque verve with Latin American rhythms. The orchestral piece "Baroque Melting" by the Canadian composer Vivian Fung also begins in a very baroque manner, only to soon (as the title suggests) "melt" in a variety of ways. Musical "transgression" has never been a greater pleasure! A pleasure that ultimately touches and invites reflection.
Program:
Vivian Fung, Baroque Melting for harpsichord and string orchestra
Efraín Oscher, Barroqueana Venezolana No. 4 for double bass and orchestra
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Symphony No. 6 in B minor, op. 74 “Pathétique”

COMPOCON is Standing Wave’s annual week-long workshop for student composers held in late August. During the week, composers who are selected for the workshop will have the rare opportunity to work closely with the six members of Standing Wave, as well as with three different mentor composers and an Artist-In-Residence. In August 2026, Standing Wave is thrilled to welcome mentor composers Jeffrey Ryan, Marcus Goddard, and Vivian Fung, along with Artist-in-Residence Mique’l Dangeli.
The workshop week includes private lessons with all of the mentors, one-on-one sessions with each of the Standing Wave musicians, classes devoted to instrument-specific techniques, and presentations on various musical topics.
Compocon is a wonderful opportunity for composers to hone their ensemble-writing skills, and to learn about style, instrumentation, notation, communication, editing, and the risk-taking that goes into creating thought-provoking new chamber music. At the end of the week, the ensemble will perform sketches written by the participants.
Following the summer workshop, each participant will be paired with a mentor composer who will continue to provide feedback over the course of the next 2 months. Completed works will be publicly performed during Standing Wave’s 2025-2026 season. A high-quality video recording of the concert will be produced, and students will receive a copy of the performance of their work.
Compocon is an exciting opportunity for participants to work intimately with three established and celebrated composers, as well as the roster of talented musicians that make up the Standing Wave ensemble. Come make new music with us!

Lunar New Year is the most broadly observed holiday in Asian culture, and the Nashville Symphony’s inaugural Lunar New Year program will reflect how different communities and ethnic groups celebrate the occasion. Nashville Symphony Associate Conductor Nathan Aspinall will conduct the concert which marks the Year of the Dragon and features arrangements of traditional melodies and original music from Chinese composers He Zhanhou, Chen Gang, and Li Huanzhi; Singaporean composers Phoon Yew Tien and Kelly Tang; and Vietnamese-American composer Viet Cuong. Erhu virtuoso Ma Xiaohui, who performed with Yo-Yo Ma on the award-winning soundtrack of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, will be the featured soloist, performing excerpts from He Zhanhao and Chen Gang’s The Butterfly Lovers Concerto and the traditional melody “Horse Racing.” In addition, Jen-Jen Lim, Director/Artistic Director of the Chinese Arts Alliance of Nashville, will create original choreography for Li Huanzhi’s Spring Festival Overture. The concert culminates with Igor Stravinsky’s Suite from The Firebird, a classic symphonic concert work nodding to the Year of the Dragon by evoking a mythical, winged creature.
The second of the Villiers Quartet’s Late Schubert Series pairs the great Austrian composer’s ‘Death and the Maiden’ with three recent pieces by women composers. St Hilda's music student Ariana Pethard’s ‘The Dance of Persephone’ has been commissioned especially for this concert as a response to ‘Death and the Maiden’, with the composer playing the piano part. It's also a rare opportunity to hear Alisa Dixon's fascinating song cycle 'The Spirit of Love'; her strikingly dissonant harmonic language, reminiscent in places of Fauré, Bartók and Britten, is used to convey dark and conflicting emotions.
Program:
Vivian Fung, String Quartet No. 1 (2004)
Ariana Pethard, The Dance of Persephone for piano and string quartet (wp)
Alisa Dixon, The Spirit of Love — 3 Songs for soprano and string quartet (2020)

Girl From the 905 is a genre-busting presentation from a powerhouse operatic team working within their usual roles, but completely outside the lines. A classical score that rattles alive with electronic textures, performed completely raw and unfiltered by a classical trained soprano, rooted in an auto-biographical story of women living between the lines in a multi-cultural family, who come to accept and love themselves for who they are.
National Sawdust Residency with librettist Royce Vavrek and soprano Andrea Núñez, to collaborate on Girl from the 905, a song cycle that considers Chinese-American identity against the backdrop of escalating societal hostilities during the pandemic.
