Clarksville, TN – Enjoy the holidays with the Gateway Chamber Orchestra as they announce their return to the stage with a modern interpretation of The Nutcracker.
In their first live audience performance since February 2020, the GCO presents the Tchaikovsky favorite with a Duke Ellington twist featuring special guest artists from the Nashville Ballet.
“We are so excited to create a new holiday tradition for our audience with a combination of video and live dance from our new partners, Nashville Ballet,” Wolynec said. “Tchaikovsky’s classic score gets a big band twist that is sure to have your toes tapping.”
Gather the whole family for a fun and festive holiday performance! After the last performance, the GCO will host an optional Sugar Plum Party with sweet treats for children and a photo opportunity with the Sugar Plum Fairy. Children are invited to dress up.
