In 2010, the home of the Nashville Symphony suffered massive flood damage. Despite losses, the Nashville Symphony became a symbol of recovery, and the concert hall was brought back to life in less than 8 months. On today's show, hear the Nashville Symphony perform music by Debussy, from a concert at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville.
