Nashville’s multifaceted music worlds come together for one night when the Nashville Symphony honors T Bone Burnett and the Grand Ole Opry at the Symphony Ball 2025. Since 1986, the symphony has awarded the Harmony Award to individuals who “exemplify the harmonious spirit of Nashville’s music community.” This year, the award goes to Burnett and the Grand Ole Opry, timed with the 100th anniversary of the radio show. Special surprise Opry guests will be in attendance along with Burnett, known for his five-decade musical career. “Being recognized by the Nashville Symphony and sharing this honor with T Bone Burnett is a real highlight in this milestone year,” says Dan Rogers, senior vice president and executive producer of the Grand Ole Opry, in a statement. “It’s a nod to every performer, musician and fan who’s been part of the Opry family.” Tickets for the white-tie gala benefit the work of the orchestra to offer free performances and education initiatives to students across the city.
