Free Day of Music at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center

Saturday-October 4, 2008, 11:00 a.m.- Schermerhorn Symphony Center

For the third straight year, the Nashville Symphony opens its new home to the entire community for theRegions Free Day of Music, a festive open house with a variety of local musical acts performing throughout the building.

Passes will be issued starting at 11 a.m. on Symphony Place (near the north front stairs of Schermerhorn Symphony Center). Each guest will receive a pass upon entering the building. Guests may then stay as long as they like to explore the different spaces inside and to enjoy the many musical performances; when leaving, they will be asked to return the pass. In addition to the myriad of performances, guests can enjoy an instrument petting zoo, the Symphony Store and a variety of inexpensive food or drink options. The Nashville Symphony box office will also be open and offering 20% discounts on tickets to select concerts.

Please note that free shuttle buses will be running between Schermerhorn Symphony Center’s Regions Free Day of Music and Scarritt-Bennett and Metro Parks’ Celebration of Cultures in Centennial Park, also sponsored by Regions. Shuttles will run from 11 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., approximately every 20 minutes. The Centennial Park pickup/drop-off point will be located just inside the park near 25th Ave, in front of the Sportsplex. The Schermerhorn Symphony Center location is still to be determined.
