Knoxville, TN – March 8, 2013 – The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra continues its Moxley Carmichael Masterworks Series with a performance of Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez on March 21-22. Guest conductor Kelly Corcoran conducts the Orchestra, joined by guest guitarist Ana Vidovic.

Guest conductor Kelly Corcoran is in her sixth season as Associate Conductor with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra. Originally from Massachusetts and a member of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus for more than 10 years, Corcoran received her Bachelor of Music in vocal performance from The Boston Conservatory. She received her Master of Music in instrumental conducting from Indiana University. Corcoran currently serves on the conducting faculty at the New York Summer Music Festival.

Guitarist Ana Vidovic comes from the small town of Karlovac near Zagreb, Croatia, and started playing guitar at the age of 5, and by 7 had given her first public performance. At the age of 11 she was performing internationally, and at 13 became the youngest student to attend the prestigious National Musical Academy in Zagreb where she studied with Professor Istvan Romer. Ana's reputation in Europe led to an invitation to study with Manuel Barrueco at the Peabody Conservatory where she graduated in 2005.

Patrons can attend pre-concert chats at 6:30 p.m. in the concert hall before each performance. Guest performers will offer their personal perspective and audience members will have a chance for Q&A with the artists. This is a unique get-to-know-you opportunity!
