The Musicians of the Nashville Symphony consists of the professional musicians who are
normally full-time employees of the Nashville Symphony. The Nashville Symphony has
furloughed all musicians of the orchestra, so the Musicians are independently run and do not
represent the Nashville Symphony. Regardless, the Musicians continue to serve their
community through musical performance, education, and outreach, especially now when it is
most needed.
