In this installment of the Back in the Day podcast, Sarah and Grace sit down for an engaging and insightful interview with Giancarlo Guerrero, Music Director of the Nashville Symphony. Mr. Guerrero has served as the Symphony’s Music Director for sixteen seasons, including the current 2024-25 season, which marks his final year in Nashville. While his career spans leadership roles with orchestras worldwide, his work with the Nashville Symphony has been especially notable, with nearly two dozen commissioned and premiered pieces, including works by Béla Fleck, Ben Folds, Jennifer Higdon, Hannibal Lokumbe, Terry Riley, and Victor Wooten. His contributions have also resulted in 21 commercial recordings, earning 18 GRAMMY® nominations and 11 GRAMMY® Awards across multiple categories. While the conversation with Sarah and Grace focuses mainly on his remarkable career in Nashville, it also delves into his past, his decision to pursue music, and what being a Nashvillian has meant to him.
