A widely popular fundraiser blending the experience of a live orchestra performance and a cocktail competition, Spirits of Summer is a multi-sensory event pairing musical works with custom crafted cocktails designed by notable Nashville mixologists. 


“Symphonic Nights” will transport guests to the charming streets of Havana as VIP** guests kick off the evening in the Havana Lounge, complete with a cigar rolling station, open bar, passed hors d’oeuvres, and live Cuban music. During the main event, Principal Pops Conductor Enrico Lopez-Yañez will lead the performance of four curated musical selections as each mixologist presents their cocktail. The audience will experience a journey of all the senses, enjoying signature cocktails and delicious Cuban bites paired with exquisite music, while comparing tasting notes with friends between each “round.” At the end of the night, the audience will vote for their favorite music and cocktail pairing, with the winning mixologist taking home the Symphony’s Spirits of Summer award. After the concert, guests are invited to mix and mingle with the mixologists and Nashville Symphony musicians. 

Spirits of Summer is presented annually by Crescendo Club, the Nashville Symphony’s young professional organization. Proceeds to benefit the Nashville Symphony, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to inspire and engage a diverse and growing community with extraordinary live orchestral music experiences.
