Nashville Symphony Recordings
Since 2000, the Nashville Symphony has enjoyed a wonderfully successful partnership with Naxos, the world's leading classical music label, making us one of the most active recording orchestras in the country. Our releases have received no fewer than 13 GRAMMY® Award nominations and six GRAMMY® wins —three for Joan Tower's Made in America and three for Michael Daugherty's Metropolis Symphony. The winning categories for both recordings included Best Orchestral Performance.
