Form 990, Part III, Line 4a program service description	Nashville is a city where new music is constantly being created, and as Music City's resident orchestra, the Nashville Symphony is committed to keeping classical music relevant in the 21st century. The orchestra champions the work of contemporary American composers through an active schedule of performances, commissions, premieres and recordings. During the 2015/16 season, the Nashville Symphony recorded six works for forthcoming release on Naxos, all of which were included on the orchestra's Classical Series: Michael Daugherty's Once Upon a Castle; Richard Danielpour's Toward the Splendid City; Frank Ticheli's Clarinet Concerto; and Jennifer Higdon's Oboe Concerto, All Things Majestic and Viola Concerto. Of note, Higdon's Viola Concerto was commissioned by the Library of Congress, with the Nashville Symphony as co-commissioner, along with the Curtis Institute of Music and the Aspen Music Festival and School. During the 2015/16 season, the Nashville Symphony received national recognition for its artistic excellence, including a GRAMMY Award for Best Classical Compendium, presented for its recording of Stephen Paulus' Three Places of Enlightenment. Also of note, the orchestra's collaboration with Nashville-based singer-songwriter Ben Folds, So There, reached No. 1 on the Billboard Classical Albums Chart. As part of its commitment to fostering the creation of new work, the Nashville Symphony launched the Composer Lab & Workshop, which provides emerging young composers the opportunity to gain hands-on experience working with a major American orchestra. In October 2015, five composers traveled to Nashville to hear their music performed by the Nashville Symphony and to receive mentoring and feedback from Music Director Guerrero, Workshop Director Aaron Jay Kernis and other orchestra professionals. One of the participating composers, Gabriela Smith, was invited back to Nashville the following October for the performance of her inventive work Tumblebird Contrails on the orchestra's Classical Series.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b program service description	The 2015/16 season also marked the launch of Accelerando, a major music education initiative for the Nashville Symphony. This program is designed to prepare gifted young students of diverse backgrounds to pursue music in college, with a long-range goal of creating professional opportunities for musicians from ethnic communities underrepresented in today's orchestras. Participating students in grades 5-12 are provided with instruction, mentorship, performance experience and assistance applying to music schools. The Nashville Symphony held auditions for the inaugural class of Accelerando in spring 2016, and the response was strong, with more than 30 applicants. Six participants were selected for the inaugural class. As part of its mission to make music accessible to everyone, the Nashville Symphony offers a number of free public programs both at Schermerhorn Symphony Center and out in the community. These include Free Day of Music, which drew 7,600 people to hear more than 20 artists performing throughout the building all day and into the night; Community Concerts, which drew 6,500 people to hear the orchestra perform in outdoor locations throughout the Middle Tennessee region; OnStage, a series inviting concertgoers to enjoy a chamber concert seated onstage with the musicians; and Let Freedom Sing!, an annual tribute to the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
