What parents say
"We went to a show on a Sunday afternoon. The Symphony is located right around all the other cool stuff in downtown Nashville and is definitely worth stopping in. They even sell booze there if you want a cocktail 🍸 with your show. The staff is on point and ready to assist with whatever they can. It has an upscale feel as well. I'll be back especially around Christmas!"

"My wife and I attended a Sunday afternoon concert. It had been many years since either of us had been to an orchestral concert and we had been to a bluegrass concert the night before so we made it a musical weekend. The Nashville Symphony did not disappoint! Our seats were not the most expensive but offered us a great view of the stage and of course the acoustics were wonderful. We were treated to some outstanding musicians performing with passion and skill."

"My wife and I saw the Genesis/Phil Collins tribute show. It was my first time here and it was awesome! We were in the front row of the balcony across from the orchestra. Show started on time and was very well done. Highly recommended."
