As Middle Tennessee continues to grow and transform, the Nashville Symphony will be a financially robust, leading orchestra fully supported and embraced by the community it serves and recognized by its peers for its innovation and excellence. Key to achieving this vision, the Nashville Symphony will: - Entertain and educate audiences with varied opportunities to engage with orchestral music. - Be recognized as a leading arts organization defined by performing an innovative and excellent portfolio distinguished by a commitment to American music, including underrepresented voices. - Strengthen diversified revenue streams in order to routinely deliver a balanced operating budget and meet goals for endowment contributions. - Build a diverse, welcoming, and effective organization that is a great place to work and is reflective of the Middle Tennessee community. false false 23195736 0 12747035 Artistic Programming : The Nashville Symphony is where music comes alive for Middle Tennessee and beyond. Founded in 1946, the orchestra performs at the world-class Schermerhorn Symphony Center, presenting a dynamic range of programming that spans classical masterworks, groundbreaking new commissions, jazz, pop, film with live orchestra, and family concerts. A national leader in championing contemporary American orchestral music, the Symphony has premiered and recorded works by many of today's most celebrated composers, earning 14 GRAMMY Awards and 27 nominations. The Nashville Symphony performs nearly 200 concerts annually, including free and low-cost education and community programs that collectively reach nearly 550,000 people of all ages across Middle Tennessee each year. Through broadcasts, recordings, and streaming, the Symphony extends its impact to an additional 13 million listeners worldwide. As a nonprofit organization, the Nashville Symphony is dedicated to enriching its community, inspiring the next generation of music lovers, and demonstrating the transformative power of live orchestral music to unite and inspire. The 2024/25 season marked the final season of Music Director Giancarlo Guerrero's distinguished tenure, celebrating his artistic leadership with performances that underscored the enduring vitality of orchestral music. From Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 and Vivaldi's Four Seasons to the world premiere of Dolly Parton's Threads: My Songs in Symphony, the season balanced beloved masterworks with bold new artistic milestones. Continuing our commitment to preserving and advancing American orchestral music, three performances were recorded during the season for future commercial release. The season included 31 sold-out concerts, among them Mahler's Symphony No. 8, Gregory Alan Isakov, Gladiator Live, The Voice of Whitney, The Music of Final Fantasy, and Home Alone. We welcomed legendary artists such as Itzhak Perlman, Emanuel Ax, Gil Shaham, Leslie Odom Jr., Lyle Lovett, the Indigo Girls, and Branford Marsalis, alongside rising stars and treasured local collaborators. In partnership with our musicians, during the 2024/25 season, we introduced innovative programming including Bluebird at the Symphony, blending Nashville's iconic songwriting tradition with the artistry of the orchestra. The season also highlighted our commitment to cultivating the next generation of artists. Three exceptional finalists from the Curb Concerto Competition performed with Symphony musicians, followed by a side-by-side concert with the orchestra. Joshua Kova was named the Curb Concerto Competition winner for the second time, a testament to the program's long-term impact and artistic excellence. The season concluded on a grand scale with Mahler's Symphony No. 8, a majestic finale to Maestro Guerrero's tenure and a powerful celebration of the Symphony's artistic legacy. 2017021 40055 26996 Education & Community Engagement Programs: During the 2024-2025 season, the Nashville Symphony strengthened its commitment to accessibility and community connection through 278 free and low-cost education and community engagement programs, reaching nearly 36,000 students and adults. We expanded our presence beyond Schermerhorn Symphony Center through programs such as Music in My Neighborhood, Lunar New Year, and MLK: A Celebration in Song, bringing orchestral music directly into communities across the region. Music in My Neighborhood focused on the Antioch community, offering free ensemble performances, workshops, and family concerts in local schools and community centers. The third year of this community residency fostered cultural connection, neighborhood pride, and direct engagement with Symphony musicians. In partnership with Metro Nashville Public Schools, Symphony musicians reached thousands of students through in-school performances, classroom visits, and interactive concerts at Schermerhorn Symphony Center. These programs provide students with direct access to live orchestral music and meaningful artistic mentorship. We also hosted the We Are Nashville Festival 2025, where more than 400 students from across the city gathered to celebrate creativity, collaboration, and young artistry. The festival reflected the unifying power of music and the diversity of Nashville's student voices. Our beloved Summer Parks Concerts once again invited families to experience live orchestral music outdoors, creating accessible cultural moments that united audiences across the region.

(from Bylaws of Organization) (a) The President and CEO shall be responsible for maintaining a written conflict of interest policy for the Association approved by the Board of Directors. This policy shall address conflict of interest related to any director, officer, committee member, or administrative staff member of the Association. (b) Generally speaking, for directors, a conflict of interest is a situation in which a director or one of his or her family members has a direct or indirect personal or financial interest that compromises or could compromise the director's independence of judgment in exercising his or her responsibilities to the Association. When any conflict of interest relates to a matter requiring action by the Board of Directors or any Committee, the interested person shall call it to the attention of the Board of Directors or the Committee before which the matter is pending, as applicable. Any other Board or Committee member may call the matter to the attention of the Board or Committee, as applicable. The interested person shall not deliberate or vote on the matter; provided, however, that any director disclosing a conflict of interest may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee. (c) Unless requested to remain present during the meeting, the interested person shall retire from the room in which the Board of Directors or Executive Committee is meeting, and shall not participate in the final deliberation or decision regarding the matter under consideration. However, the interested person shall provide the Board or Committee, as applicable with any and all relevant information. (d) The minutes of the meeting of the Board or any Committee, as applicable, shall reflect that the conflict of interest was disclosed, that the interested person did not participate in the final discussion or vote and did not vote, and the rationale for approving the action.
