| In addition to the concert series listed, the Nashville Symphony produces many more concerts each year. Special event concerts pair the orchestra with popular guest artists for one or two nights throughout the year. Notable performances during the 2023/24 season include concerts with Black Violin, Common, Kristin Chenoweth, Rufus Wainwright, Yo-Yo Ma, and more. The orchestra will also perform a series of movie concerts, playing the soundtracks of E.T., Encanto, Hocus Pocus, and others while the films are projected overhead. The Ann & Monroe Carell Family Trust Family Series offers four Saturday-morning concerts for children and families, with pre-concert activities and an interactive Instrument Petting Zoo. All Family Concerts are now sensory friendly; accessible amenities include closed captioning, booster seats, a no-shushing policy, raised lighting, quiet spaces away from the concert hall, and free access to fidget toys, headphones, social stories, and more. |
