In pre-historic times, strange creatures walked the planet. These were the ancient ancestors of musical instruments that inspired melodious makers in brass and wood to create the instruments we see in the orchestra today.
Join on a journey into the times When Instruments Roamed the Earth®!
Filled with laughs, surprises, multi-media projection, and on-stage action, the symphony will present the perfect all-ages introduction to the exciting sounds, people, and experience of a symphony orchestra concert.
Hear the hilarious “research” of paleo-musicologist, Sir Humphrey Treble-Clef, who believes that our modern instruments are actually the descendants of giant, dinosaur-like creatures like you’ve never seen before. These are strange creatures that exist in the hot, mysterious, swampy jungles of Sir Humphrey’s unusual imagination.
Most will not believe a man who tried to prove that ancient humans made music by hitting themselves on the head with rocks; but everyone will smile, laugh, and be in awe of the symphonic interpretations of Sir Humphrey’s wild theories, featuring all the instruments of the orchestra.

Ever wonder what toys do when people aren't around? With the Nashville Symphony performing the score live, Toy Story answers that question with a fantastic fun-filled journey, viewed mostly through the eyes of two rival toys – Woody, the lanky, likable cowboy, and Buzz Lightyear, the fearless space ranger.
Led by Woody, Andy’s toys live happily in his room until Andy’s birthday brings Buzz Lightyear onto the scene. Afraid of losing his place in Andy's heart, Woody plots against Buzz. But when circumstances separate Buzz and Woody from their owner, the comically mismatched duo eventually learn to put aside their differences, and they find themselves on a hilarious adventure-filled mission where the only way they can survive is to form an uneasy alliance.
The performance is a presentation of the complete film Toy Story with a live performance of the film’s entire score. Out of respect for the musicians and your fellow audience members, please remain seated until the conclusion of the end credits.

"That Lovin’ Feelin’ is back with The Righteous Brothers Live! Blue-eyed soul pioneers The Righteous Brothers are back! With a string of #1 classics, including the most played song in radio history, “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’,” the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame duo of Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield topped the charts for four decades. After Bobby’s death in 2003, Bill continued to perform to sold-out crowds around the world, but fans and friends pleaded with him to keep The Righteous Brothers alive. Says Medley, “No one could ever take Bobby’s place, but when I caught Bucky Heard’s show, it all came together – I found the right guy to help me recreate the magic.”
Join Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Bill Medley and his new partner Bucky Heard, as they take you on a nostalgic journey through the legendary musical stylings of one of the greatest rock and roll duos of all time. The concert experience features their biggest hits including “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’,” “Soul and Inspiration,” “Unchained Melody,” “Rock and Roll Heaven,” Medley’s Grammy-winning Dirty Dancing theme “The Time of My Life,” and much, much more!

You cannot talk about rock in the 1970s without talking about Grand Funk Railroad.” –Rolling Stone
Featuring original members Don Brewer and Mel Schacher, along with Max Carl (formerly of 38 Special), Bruce Kulick (formerly of KISS), and Tim Cashion (formerly of Bob Seger), Grand Funk Railroad are coming to your town to help you party down! Be there as this legendary top-selling American rock group of the 1970s delivers its signature sound of soulful vocals, hard-driving guitars, and unforgettable tunes.
Grand Funk Railroad laid the groundwork for such bands as Foreigner, Journey, Van Halen, and Bon Jovi with its signature hard-driving sound, soulful vocals, muscular instrumentation, and forceful pop melodies. A 1971 performance at New York's Shea Stadium sold out faster than the Beatles. Over their career, Grand Funk Railroad has had 19 charted singles, 8 Top 40 hits, and two Number One singles. The group has accumulated 13 gold and 10 platinum records with record sales exceeding 25 million copies sold worldwide. Hits include:
We're An American Band | The Loco-Motion | Some Kind Of Wonderful | I'm Your Captain / Closer To Home | Bad Time | Shinin’ On
