Hear free performance by the Nashville Symphony tonight

Come to Centennial Park tonight and enjoy an evening of music under the stars at the Employee Appreciation Vanderbilt Family Night with the Nashville Symphony. Fun for the whole family, this concert will include classical and popular favorites. Pack a picnic and celebrate the summer with us.

The annual Vanderbilt Family Night with the Nashville Symphony will be held at the Musicians Corner in the southwest area of Centennial Park on Thursday, June 7. The music kicks off at 5 p.m. with special performances by local artists. The symphony is slated to perform at 7:30 p.m. The Musicians Corner was established in 2010 and focuses on engaging the community, promoting arts education, and supporting local artists.

Activities at the Musicians Corner include something for all ages. The Kidsville is a destination for parents to bring their children to enjoy crafts, fitness and an educational musical meet and greet. All that fun can work up an appetite, so be sure to stop by one of the food trucks and pick up something good to eat.
