Music City Youth Orchestra
$12 adults, $10 seniors 55 and over, $7 children under 13 The Music City Youth Orchestra, a brand new, eclectic
youth orchestra based in Nashville, will present its second
public concert at The Renaissance Center Saturday, May
31, in the Performance Hall. MCYO was founded in 2007
to establish a student ensemble that will explore traditional
and alternative orchestral pieces. MCYO gave its inaugural concert Feb. 9 at the Belcourt Theatre in
Nashville with a performance of Corelli, Elgar, Charlie
Parker, The Beatles, Electric Light Orchestra, Radiohead
and music inspired by the traditions of Ireland, Thailand
and the U.S. MCYO has begun its first season as a string
orchestra created from auditions held last fall and rehearses
weekly at Belmont United Methodist Church.
MCYO is currently comprised of 20 Nashville-area students
in grades 7-12. Walter Bitner is the ensemble’s
music director and Tracy Silverman, an accomplished
electric violinist, is artist in residence.

The Gypsy Hombres
$12 adults, $10 seniors 55 and over, $8 children under 13 The acoustic violin/guitar-based trio The Gypsy Hombres
blends traditional jazz with European, South American
and classical music to create a sound unlike any other
musical group. The Gypsy Hombres’ repertoire embraces
a wide variety of composers and styles: from Brahms and
Chopin to George Gershwin, Duke Ellington and Louis
Armstrong to international folk
songs, all while retaining the
gypsy spirit. But besides just
adding their own arrangements
and personalities to standards,
they are also accomplished
composers with several original
songs featured on their latest
album. The Hombres can also
rock the house with a captivating
intensity. Equally at ease
with swing, tangos and waltzes, the Hombres provide
plenty of inspiration for dancing, and their free spirit and
natural improvisation can win over any audience. For
