Led by Music Advisor Leonard Slatkin, incoming Music Director Giancarlo Guerrero, and President and CEO Alan D. Valentine, the GRAMMY® Award-winning Nashville Symphony has a growing international reputation for its recordings and innovative programming.

With 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.

A national and international ambassador for the citizens of Tennessee, the Nashville Symphony has received far-reaching acclaim for its 11 recordings on Naxos, the world’s leading classical label, and one on Decca, making the Nashville Symphony currently one of the most active recording orchestras in the country. These recordings have received seven total GRAMMY® nominations and, in 2008, three GRAMMY® wins for Made in America, a recording of works by American composer Joan Tower. The winning categories included “Best Classical Album” and “Best Orchestral Performance.”

In 2003, the Nashville Symphony broke ground on the $123.5 million Schermerhorn Symphony Center, the new home of the Nashville Symphony, which opened on September 9, 2006 to critical acclaim. Highlights of the Symphony Center include the 1,844-seat Laura Turner Concert Hall and the 3,000 square-foot Mike Curb Family Music Education Hall. This new cultural center in downtown Nashville has had a significant artistic, social and economic impact on the city, and in addition, has given the Nashville Symphony a venue equal to its growing reputation and superb music-making.
