   Back from the Brink: Leonard Slatkin on the Nashville Symphony’s Rollercoaster Ride

   We learned over the weekend that the technology company Oracle has agreed to enter into a $10-million strategic partnership with the Nashville Symphony. The partnership will allow the orchestra to move forward with its 2026-27 season and bring back its musicians and staff following a temporary suspension. This is incredible news, but there’s still a lot to be done. In this episode of MACC Talk, Nashville Symphony Music Director Leonard Slatkin joins host John Pitcher to talk about the orchestra’s rollercoaster week and its likely future. The episode is sponsored by Nōssi College of Art and Design.
