schermerhorn symphony center

My husband and I have been season ticket holders to the Pops Symphony at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center since it opened its doors - approximately 9 years ago. We drive from southern Kentucky every month during the season to attend the events and it is well worth the drive. It has been one of the best investments that we have made in entertainment because of the variety of performances offered and because of the amazing talent of the Nashville Symphony! The events are so relaxing and enriching when the symphony plays. Many of the players are instructors in Vanderbilt's Music program and they are just phenomenal musicians. What can we say but 'WOW' about the symphony hall! It is one of the best and the sound in that facility is just perfect! One might think that the symphony performances are out of reach in price but that is NOT the case. There are plenty of good seats at all price levels. We are fortunate to have the Schermerhorn Symphony Hall..

My daughter and I ventured to Nashville for a mini vacation. Since my daughter is a french horn player, we naturally wanted to visit the symphony. They were playing Mahler's Ninth. The venue was amazingly beautiful. But that wasn't even a testament to the symphony. They played beautifully and passionately. I could FEEL the notes being played. A well, done standing ovation to the wonderful players. Get there early and get a drink and wander the premises and gift shop for a simply magical evening!

Thank you for the wonderful review. We loved having you and look forward to seeing you again!

We went to see the Styx show on Friday night. The symphony was supposed to play along with them, but due to the ice storm they were well advised to stay home. Nonetheless, Styx put on a wonderful show and because many patrons didn't come out for the show, there was plenty of good seating and the folks in charge offered for anyone to sit wherever they liked. Everyone was in a great mood and nobody minded if you went down to the front near the stage to take photos. As we were exiting the building however, we found the steps to be extremely icy and I actually took a spill. Fortunately I didn't fall down the steps all the way, and getting up was very difficult as the railing was also covered with ice. I felt that someone could have done a better job of making sure the steps (or at least a portion of them) were salted to make it safer. I only have a bruised knee, but it could have been way worse, I hope others didn't have any problems. I realize that this is a rare event (ice storm in Nashville) but the safety of the patrons should have been on the minds of the administration or managers.

So glad to see they are using this beautiful symphony hall for different types of concerts. There are no bad seats and just being there makes you feel such appreciation for such a magnificent structure.

What a fun break from the work a day week! My clients took me along with 24 other guests to see Styx play at the Schermerhorn with the Nashville Symphony! We had a great time and had our picture taken with Tommy Shaw, lead guitarist and singer.The Schermerhorn is a beautiful venue. When you have a chance - GO THERE!

We spent Valentine's Day in downtown Nashville and spent a wonderful evening watching and listening to the Nashville Symphony and the legendary Patti LaBelle!!!This facility is very beautiful and the concert hall was just wonderful. Really not a bad seat in the house but I guess the seating behind the stage would be less attractive if any are. The 1st and second level seemed awesome and the third level following close behind. The event center is small enough that anywhere is okay compared to if you went to see someone in concert at the usual large facility.Even behind the stage here would be better than alot of seats in a large venue.Classy place. The only disappointment was that we bought a package deal including wine or champagne. Since I am diabetic I could not have wine or champagne and they WOULD NOT allow me a bottle of water of Diet Coke instead of wine or champagne!!!!! That is just silly and unexplainable. Other than that, the event was 100% what I wanted it to be.Somebody owes me for the lack of being able to have a beverage exchange for our drink that was included in our ticket package.Patti LaBelle lived up to our expectations! She is 70 now but was able to crank out a tune in a young and powerful sounding voice just as I've heard for years on recordings. She's as good live as recorded and the symphony along with her band made a wonderul backdrop for her voice.I recommend both Patti and the Schermerhorn Symphony Center...but if you don't drink alcohol, don't buy a ticket package stating a beverage included unless you can have alcohol, even thought a soft drink or bottle of water would be a lessor cost to them than an alcoholic drink. Go figure!

This was our first time attending the symphony. My teenage daughter and I were very impressed with our seats, especially since we had purchased our tickets just 3 hours prior. I would try to get the private box seats next time. I'd definitively return.

I was in town for business and saw that they had an Legend of Zelda Symphony in Orchestra- This venue is very beautiful on the inside and sound quality is impeccable. The valet service is very reasonable and the staff was very helpful.

Great night. Beautiful building. Smaller orchestra but the sound was wonderful. An awesome, culminating end to a great night.

Took my wife to see Kenny Rogers.....her favorite all time singer & made myself all kinds of points!!!! This place is totally awesome....great design! Even the little restaurant inside was great. All the staff was super helpful & nice.......the only downfall is the price of their mixed drinks.....how can you charge $18.00 for two rum & cokes in those tiny plastic cups??? It wasn't even any special rum either......I would think over $100.00 a ticket would have covered any over pricing of drinks!!

This Symphony hall is small but really is a very elegant space. Seating is comfortable with a good view from most. I would say though that it could be confusing the first time you visit. You have to enter from different levels and you may be directed all over the place before you find your section.

The music and singing was awesome. We sat in back orchestra seats and had a great view. The acoustics were great and clear. It was perfect gift to give my wife for new years eve. I'll go back again. The symphony center is first class in decoration inside and out. Yet, you can dress casual or over the top. The groupon discount help. It worked out as buy one and get one free. There is bar service at decent prices. Best thing is to just enjoy the evening and great music.

You cannot go wrong with the Schermerhorn! Ever event is worth it - the music is flawless the atmosphere is regal and yet you feel relaxed. Excellent in everyway!

My husband and I went to the Symphony at 6 pm on New Year's Eve to hear elections from Gershwin, Kern, and many more. The show was absolutely wonderful with outstanding entertainment. The Schermerhorn Symphony Center is beautiful and I would highly recommend it be a number one choice for entertainment plans. It is located in downtown Nashville, which is really a great place. Easy parking, even when 100,000 people were downtown waiting for the "Note" to drop at midnight.
