The We Are Nashville Festival is a dynamic event that unites student ensembles from Nashville’s public and charter school music programs for a day of workshops, rehearsals, and a final performance.

Led by a collective of educators and local artists, the festival offers students valuable opportunities for access, development, and community engagement through the arts. The day culminates in a public performance, celebrating the collaborative artistry of students, educators, and local artists, while showcasing the power of music to unite and strengthen community.

Founded in 2018 by Bryson Finney and Dr. Kevin Stacy, and supported by a team of dedicated music educators, the festival highlights the continuum of diverse development for music students, from primary school to professional artist. Held annually in March during "Music in Our Schools Month," the festival continues to build bridges across communities, celebrate Nashville’s musical culture, and inspire the next generation of artists.

Admission is FREE or Choose-What-You-Pay, but tickets must be reserved in advance. Box seat tickets are $10 each.

Presented without the Nashville Symphony.
