Around this centerpiece, the orchestra performs some of our nation’s most beloved pieces, including Aaron Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man and Charles Ives' Variations on America. Bring your friends. Invite your neighbors. Pack a picnic blanket. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the 80th birthday of the Nashville Symphony and the 250th birthday of our country.
