9 NASHVILLE SYMPHONY | SCHERMERHORN SYMPHONY CENTER WE BUILD COMMUNITY THROUGH MUSIC. Music brings people together. It transcends languages, borders and cultural differences. Music matters. And through the life-transforming power of music, the Nashville Symphony seeks to make Middle Tennessee a more vibrant, connected and culturally rich place. Each year, we collaborate with partner organizations to create unique opportunities for people to gather in celebration of art, culture, history and community. Recent efforts include partnering with Casa de la Cultura and other local organizations to present México en el Corazón, a free mariachi celebration at Schermerhorn Symphony Center. In 2018, in collaboration with the Jewish Federation of Nashville, the Nashville Symphony presented Violins of Hope Nashville, a community-wide initiative with 27 partners and 60 events, all revolving around a collection of restored instruments played by Jewish musicians during the Holocaust. In September 2020, the Nashville Symphony will present the world premiere of a commission by composer Julia Wolfe, written to commemorate the centennial of women’s suffrage. The piece, written for full orchestra and vocal ensemble, is especially meaningful for Tennessee, as the state played a pivotal role in the passage of women’s suffrage. The Symphony will collaborate with partners across the state to present community-focused programming to accompany the premiere. TOTAL INVESTMENT FOR THIS INITIATIVE $643,449
