The Nashville Symphony has appointed GABRIELLA SMITH as the inaugural fellow in its newly launched Composer Lab and Workshop. She was one of five young American composers invited to participate in the intensive three-day workshop program that took place in October, and during her fellowship year she will return to Nashville several times to work with Music Director Giancarlo Guerrero and the Nashville Symphony. Her composition Tumblebird Contrails will be premiered by the orchestra as part of its Aegis Sciences Classical Series. Smith is a doctoral candidate at Princeton University and a 2015-16 ArtistYear Fellow at the Curtis Institute of Music, through which she is serving as a citizen-artist in the Philadelphia region. She holds a bachelor’s degree in composition from Curtis.
