Schermerhorn Symphony Center
The Schermerhorn Symphony Center is a symphony center in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. It is scheduled to be opened with its first concert in the Laura Turner Concert Hall on September 9, 2006. Its opening night gala will be broadcast live on PBS affiliates throughout the state. The main affiliate, Nashville's WNPT, will celebrate the occasion by presenting the event in high definition, the station's first HD telecast. In December, the event will be broadcast nationwide.
Ground was broken for construction of the center on December 3, 2003. When completed the hall will have approximately 1,900 seats. The hall will be home to the Nashville Symphony Orchestra. It is reportedly going to be one of the most state of the art facilities for hearing orchestral music.
The center is named in honor of Kenneth Schermerhorn who was the music director and conductor of the Nashville Symphony Orchestra from 1983 until his death in 2005. The center was named before his death.
