The program centers on rhythm and on the act of gathering together, and marks the 250th anniversary of the United States. The concert is Sunday, November 15 at 3 pm at Schermerhorn Symphony Center. It is part of the Ann & Monroe Carell Family Trust Family Series, the Nashville Symphony's Sunday-afternoon concerts that introduce young listeners to the orchestra through storytelling and interactive fun. Families are invited to arrive early for sensory-friendly activities, including the instrument petting zoo, where kids can try orchestra instruments up close before the show. ## Similar picks in Nashville - [Mother Goose (Snuggery Series) at Nashville Children's Theatre](https://grassyknees.com/nashville/activities/mother-goose-snuggery-series-at-nashville-children-s-theatre--listing-46e6cdb47a86696ea9a0a5b3) — Oct 24 – Oct 25 · Nashville Children's Theatre · Ages 0–5 · Paid · checked Oct 24.
