Young People's Concerts

 

Each year, thousands of students attend Young People's Concerts at the Nashville Symphony. FREE for students grades K-12 and $10 for chaperones and teachers, these concerts are open to public, private, and home schools, and offer a comprehensive educational experience that enriches in-school learning. Participating teachers receive access to a downloadable curriculum that includes lesson plans, music selections, and more. The content of each concert is geared toward specific grade levels (K-2, 3-5, and 6-12), and meets both fine arts and academic Tennessee state standards.
