Mission

The Nashville Symphony's story began in 1920 when a group of amateur and professional musicians formed their own orchestra and organized The Symphony Society. Dedicated to achieving the highest standard for excellence in musical performance and educational programs while engaging the community, enriching audiences and shaping cultural life, the Symphony offers 140 performances annually. The 84-member Nashville Symphony is an arts leader in Nashville and beyond, offering a broad range of classical, pops and jazz concerts; special events; children's concerts and community outreach programs. The Symphony strives to achieve recognized artistic excellence in the performance and presentation of the highest quality music and to engage and enrich people of all ages by exploring, experiencing and creating music.
