A very good pre-concert option for a relaxed and quality meal.

I love the symphony center! It's gorgeous to look at, and the music sounds so wonderful because of the attention to detail in terms of acoustics inside. Check out a concert here if you're a classical music fan.

For a special night on the town....nothing can match this venue with a performance by the Nashville Symphony. All seats in this elegant environment are excellent. I always enjoy arriving early and having dinner or a glass of wine before the performance.

We have been to many concerts thru the years. NEVER has there been a better place in our opinion to experience the deep rich and authentic sounds of music than at Schermerhorn. Everyone should put attending a symphony at Schermerhorn on their bucket list and go at least once!

The acoustics are wonderful, the orchestra musicians are fabulous and the conductor is a hoot (imagine Abert Einstein waving his arms around) !!! I've seen shows that range and date from "The Kings" (Chet Atkins, Boots Randolph & Floyd Cramer) back in 1973 as a 13 year old with my mom to Robert Plant's first post-Led Zepplin concert (w/ Phil...

The building is beautiful inside and outside, the decor is very calming and tasteful, and the acoustics are absolutely incredible - compared to the very best in Europe and the U.S. I have attended at least a dozen events at the Schermerhorn, and each event had its own personality and amazingly talented performers. My only problem with the Symphony Hall... More

We love attending events at the Schermerhorn! The facility is amazing and the performances are always top notch. The prices are very reasonable- make sure to ask about senior, student, and military discounts, which you can't get if you buy tickets online. The parking is miserable, so plan to arrive very early, park at a distance and walk to the... More

Although I have only been to one show here it was a great time and the building was very impressive as well. Staff was great and they had a full bar, although it was a bit pricey they had a great selection. They also have full menu but you must get there early to really enjoy this part. The building...
