Honoring a Legacy: The MLK Celebration
First up, on Sunday, January 19, 2025, the Nashville Symphony will host its 31st annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration. This yearly event is a heartfelt tribute to the life, work, and enduring legacy of Dr. King.
This year’s event will be especially remarkable, featuring the incredible talent of four-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated artist Mickey Guyton. Known for her trailblazing contributions to country music, she is set to deliver a moving performance that echoes Dr. King’s message of hope, equality, and justice.
Joining her on stage will be the Celebration Chorus and Celebration Youth Chorus, whose powerful voices will elevate the evening with a stunning blend of classical, contemporary, and spiritual music. This concert promises not only to be entertaining but also uplifting, reminding us all of the importance of unity and love in our community.
Tickets for this inspiring event are currently available for the 2024/25 season ticket holders and anyone who has donated $500 or more.

Celebrate the Lunar New Year
As January wraps up, the Nashville Symphony is bringing a vibrant touch of culture and celebration to the stage. On Friday, January 31, 2025, they will host their 2nd Annual Lunar New Year Celebration, welcoming the Year of the Snake with style!
This year’s concert will be conducted by the talented Ming Luke, and it will feature celebrated soloist Susan Yang. Prepare to be swept away by traditional music from across Asia, along with pieces like Ravel’s enchanting “Pagodas” from the Mother Goose suite. One of the highlights of the evening will undoubtedly be Yang’s performance of the Yellow River Piano Concerto, which is sure to captivate everyone in attendance.
Leading up to the concert, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy pre-concert activities, including a lively bazaar set up in the Schermerhorn lobbies. This bazaar, curated by the Asian & Pacific Islanders of Middle Tennessee (API) and the Chinese Arts Alliance of Nashville (CAAN), promises to be a feast for the senses with its rich cultural displays and flavors.
