2025 Symphony Fashion Show Recap
The 2025 Symphony Fashion Show was an unforgettable evening of style, music, and celebration in support of the Nashville Symphony. Held at the stunning Schermerhorn Symphony Center, this year’s event brought together fashion lovers and Symphony supporters for a spectacular night featuring the sophisticated glamour of designer Pamella Roland, presented by Gus Mayer. The event resulted in a record $1 million raised for education and community programming.
Guests enjoyed a dazzling runway show, showcasing Pamella Roland’s latest collection — celebrated for its elegant designs, intricate embellishments, and red-carpet appeal. The evening featured a special performance by country music legend Vince Gill, whose music added a heartfelt and memorable note to the evening, and was expertly emceed by WSMV news anchor Tracy Kornet, who guided the night with grace and energy.
With signature cocktails, stunning fashion, and inspiring live music, the Symphony Fashion Show continues to be one of Nashville’s most anticipated annual events. All proceeds benefit the Nashville Symphony’s artistic, educational, and community engagement initiatives such as the Accelerando mentorship program, an immersive program designed for serious music students who have a high musical aptitude and the motivation to pursue a professional music career on a standard orchestral instrument.
We are deeply grateful to our sponsors, guests, and partners who made this event a resounding success. Special thanks to our chairs, host committee, and the many supporters whose generosity helps the Symphony continue to inspire through music.
Stay tuned for details on the 2026 Symphony Fashion Show. We can’t wait to see you next year!
