McBride joins Nashville Symphony
Tuesday, September 28, 2010 – Martina McBride will headline the Nashville Symphony's annual "Home for the Holidays" concert on Friday, Dec. 10. Due to ongoing repairs at Schermerhorn Symphony Center from the May flood, this concert will be held at Lipscomb University's Allen Arena.
McBride will feature a mix of holiday standards along with new seasonal favorites. "The Nashville Symphony is one of the reasons we proudly call Nashville 'Music City U.S.A.,' " she said, "and I can't think of a better way to ring in the holiday season than by performing with this talented ensemble of musicians."
This will be McBride's first appearance with the symphony since 1998. At the orchestra's Symphony Ball fundraiser, she was presented with the Harmony Award, an honor given each year to a musician who exemplifies the harmonious spirit of Nashville's music community.
Resident Conductor Albert-George Schram will lead the orchestra at "Home for the Holidays."

McBride's version of "Winter Wonderland" is representative of the sort of music she's recorded for this project. It features a full string ...
Stephen King tells us "Talent is cheaper than table salt." And what a shaker-full is contained on Martina McBride's latest. Songwriters? Hillary Lindsey, Sarah Buxton and Liz Rose are amongst the world's finest. For a producer, how about Faith Hill's or Taylor Swift's? And lest we forget - McBride herself possesses the best, hemi-powered soprano of any working singer today. This is gaudy, Dream Team level stuff. So, why isn't it better?

When an established artist is somewhat "in between" albums, a greatest hits package can often bridge that gap. Or a live album. Or perhaps a cringe-worthy Christmas album. If you're Rod Stewart you can create a cottage industry from old standards.
