May I bring my children?
Children may attend any Nashville Symphony concert as long as they have a ticket – we do not allow babies or toddlers without a paid ticket (no lap seats available). Symphony staff will ask parents to take disruptive children out of the concert hall*. For families with young children, we recommend the Nashville Symphony’s Family Series, which was created especially for audience members ages 3-9.
Parents who are breastfeeding and would like to do so in a private location should ask an usher for the best location to feed their child.
*Customers who are removed from the theater will not receive a refund. All sales are final and there are NO refunds unless the concert is cancelled.
