Schermerhorn Symphony Center construction began in December 2003, coming to completion three years later. Named in honor of the Maestro Kenneth Schermerhorn (1929-2005), who led the Nashville Symphony for twenty-two years, the primary purpose of the Schermerhorn was to house the Symphony. It contains the 3,000-square-foot Mike Curb Family Music Education Hall. The Neo-Classical style building also features the 1,844-seat Turner Concert Hall which uniquely allows natural light to enter through soundproof windows. Featuring Indiana limestone, South Dakota granite and marble, and copper roofing, the building was designed primarily by David M. Schwarz Architects with Earl Swensson Associates, Inc. and Hastings Architecture Associates, LLC. also contributing to the project.
