Wear what you like. The Schermerhorn Symphony Center has no dress code, and the symphony says you'll see jeans next to cocktail dresses. The hall opened on September 9, 2006, and the 1,844-seat Laura Turner Concert Hall is the Nashville Symphony's home.

The hall

The concert hall has 30 soundproof windows and a Schoenstein organ with 3,568 pipes. Its orchestra-level seats can be converted into a 5,700-square-foot hardwood ballroom floor.

Timing and kids

Most concerts last about two hours with a 20-minute intermission. Arrive at least 30 minutes early; late arrivals are seated at staff discretion. Every patron needs a ticket, babies included: there are no lap seats. The box office opens at 4:30 PM before 7:30 PM concerts and at 11 AM for matinees.

Parking

The symphony sells prepaid parking through ParkWhiz, from $10 to $35 per pass. Rideshare pick-up is at the West Atrium. All purses and bags are subject to search.
