Young People's Concerts


Due to high demand and attrition rates, school groups (public, private, and charter) must have a Purchase Order Number to complete their reservation. Email education@nashvillesymphony.org with any questions.


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 the “Let's Go to the Symphony” video. The content of each concert is geared toward a specific grade level (K-2, 3-4, 5-8 and 9-12), and meets both fine arts and academic Tennessee state standards.

  • School groups are required to have a minimum ratio of 1 chaperone per 24 students. All adults attending must purchase their tickets through the school reservation.
  • Home school groups (including private co-ops and tutorials) must register as individual families only, with up to 9 students and 1 to 3 adults for a total of 10 tickets maximum.
  • For security reasons, adult tickets will NOT be available for purchase on the morning of the concert. Ticket sales will close TWO WEEKS in advance of each concert.
  • Title 1 schools are eligible to apply for ticket funding and bus reimbursement. NOTE: Ticket and bus funding is no longer available for the 21-22 season.

 

NOTE: Each individual school is responsible for ordering its own buses. Parking directions for One Symphony Place will be sent to you prior to the concert. We will also email you a link for a downloadable curriculum that includes lesson plans, activities and music selections pertaining to the specific concert you are attending.


The 2023-2024 Young People's Concerts will be announced soon!
