‘Nashville Symphony’
Showtunes, Sweepstakes, and the Symphony (Thanks, Nashville!)
Nov. 10, 2015—In my continuous effort to explore every corner of Nashville, I attended a special Broadway-themed performance of the Nashville Symphony (featuring a real-life Disney princess!) and didn't pay a cent.

The Break Begins
Nov. 24, 2013—Remember how much I was looking forward to Thanksgiving Break in my last post? Not to say that it's all completely over, but I've taken the past couple of days to wear my polar bear pajama pants and relax.
Kids, Let’s Go to the Symphony!
Aug. 21, 2013—As a cellist at Blair, I get geekily giddy about the Nashville Symphony’s upcoming concert season. As a poor college student, I am sorely short in trying the funds to buy tickets.

Nov. 7, 2012—So what better for Blair kids to do on their Friday night than go to the Schermerhorn Symphony Center for a delightful evening of music? We boarded the bus downtown, and when we arrived, we saw around half of our school there. From the pianists to violists to vocalists to horn players, the Blair School of Music had invaded the Nashville Symphony. Yes, that is what we music majors do to kick off our weekends.
