If you're striding beyond the Music Walk of Fame and head towards the Pedestrian Bridge to see the Downtown skyline, you most likely notice a beautiful, bold and stout building stands in the way. This center opened its doors September 9, 2006, and was dedicated in honor of Kenneth Schermerhorn, Nashville Symphony's conductor and music director from 1983 till his death in 2005. Formally designed like the home of the New York Philharmonic, the crazy difference is OUR SEATS MOVE...
Here are some of the highlights of what the Schermerhorn has to offer for you:
"A concert hall and a ballroom: Inspired by some of the greatest classical music venues in the world, Laura Turner Concert Hall can be converted from a traditional listening room with theater-style seating into a festive ballroom setting. The gorgeous chandeliers will make you think you’ve been transported to a grand European concert hall.
Flexibility: Schermerhorn Symphony Center features a variety of spaces, from the sophisticated, wood-paneled Founders Hall to the versatile Curb Family Music Education Hall to the open and inviting Balcony Lobby. It doesn’t matter what kind of event you’re planning — we’ve got the right location for you. Host your event on a concert evening, and you can treat your guests to an amazing musical experience!
Built-in hospitality:
The Schermerhorn includes nine fixed bars, many easily accessible restrooms and a large coat check area. Our building meets or exceeds all ADA requirements — so you can rest assured that all of your guests will enjoy their visit.
A menu of mouth-watering possibilities: Our full commercial kitchen is staffed by a team of award-winning chefs, and it’s equipped with state-of-the-art cooking technology courtesy of Electrolux. Several support kitchens strategically located throughout the building ensure that meals are expertly staged and presented in any room.
For your convenience: Planning a full-scale production? Our loading dock is located just a few steps from the concert hall stage. Easy arrival: Valet parkers can meet your guests right at the building’s main entrance. Hundreds of parking spaces are also available within two blocks."
This is certainly as classy as Music City gets, and for that, we are proud!
