Music in My Neighborhood is a new community program of the Nashville Symphony, bringing a week of free ensemble performances, educational programs, and unique collaborations to a neighborhood in Nashville every year. Activities include ensembles and sectionals in schools; after school clinics in Community centers and local nonprofits; Chamber music performances with Nashville Symphony Musicians; a full orchestra performance, and an end-of-week celebration with food, performances, artwork, and interactive activities highlighting the neighborhood's unique arts and culture scene. The Symphony strives to serve the city of Nashville by working with the community to make music for the community.
More information about the 2023/24 season coming soon!
In the fall of 2022, the Symphony’s Music in My Neighborhood program took place in Edgehill, where the Symphony partnered with local organizations to highlight Edgehill’s history, culture, and residents. We encourage you to explore last year's programming below!
Land Acknowledgment
We acknowledge that (the Edgehill neighborhood in) Greater Nashville was originally home to the Yuchi people, the Shawnee people, and the Eastern Cherokee people, who lived on this land for thousands of years and countless generations before they were forcibly moved by colonization and the government. We would like to emphasize that despite this history, there are still members of these communities that live in Nashville today. The legacy of the enslaved individuals who helped build the city and neighborhood we know today is also not forgotten. We recognize their strength and resilience through colonialism, white supremacy, and detrimental policies. To directly make an impact, we recommend that you donate to the Native American Indian Association of Tennessee at naiatn.org/donate
