On Friday night, Sandra and I heard the Nashville Symphony perform outdoors at the Bicentennial Mall State Park in Nashville. The program focused on the pops and included renditions of John Williams classics like themes from Jaws and Star Wars.
While it has been hot here, the free performance started at 8 pm, so the sun was setting and the temperature was more manageable. It's great to listen to music with the dome of night colors enveloping above.
The park also has a view of the capitol, which was lit nicely in the evening. Though, behind and to the right of the capitol was the Sheraton Hotel, which has a set of lights flashing around the top of the building as if it has been built to be an alien landing pad--in other words, the hotel is a distraction in an otherwise nice scene.
The Nashville Symphony has other upcoming free performances with variation in the programs being presented. I plan to catch one of the Centennial Park showings. For more information on the performances, you can click and see the Community Concert schedule.
