About this event
Presented by Deborah & Stoney Stonehocker, Rock Castle State Historic Site will host the Nashville Symphony by the Lake on the evening of Wednesday, June 7, 2023. This will be the first time since the Symphony’s hiatus of their summer concert series that Historic Rock Castle will host the free community concert and we are so excited! Thousands of guests from throughout Middle Tennessee will attend this highly anticipated event.
As one of only five sites across the region selected to host its Community Concert Series, Rock Castle State Historic Site affords the perfect venue for the Nashville Symphony to explore our rich classical music heritage with interpretations of traditional and modern masterpieces.
- Gates open at 4:00 pm. On-site parking is only available to event sponsors, all other guests may use the shuttles!
- Music starts at 6:30pm and ends at 8:30pm
- Shuttles will begin at 4:00 pm from Indian Lake Peninsula Church and BOTH sides of Hendersonville High School (Cherokee Rd and Indian Lake Rd). Last Pick-Up will be at 7:00 pm, and shuttles will begin running again at 8:15pm to return guests to their vehicles.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Are dogs allowed? No, due to extreme space restrictions and the use of shuttle buses, dogs are not allowed at this event.
- Will there be food and drinks available? Yes, we will have food trucks, a wine bar, Half Batch Brewing with their local craft beers, and Rock Castle concessions with chips, candy, and drinks.
- Can I bring my own food and drinks? Yes you can, but why lug it in when you can get food and drinks on-site and support local businesses at the same time! No outside alcohol is permitted at this event, and no glass bottles/containers.
- Will there be seating provided? Like our Summer Songwriter Nights, this is an outdoor event in a field. Guests are encouraged to bring chairs or a blanket to sit on. No umbrellas or tents of any kind will be permitted, as they block the view of the guests behind them.
- Are there restrooms available? Yes, we will have portable restrooms, including handicap access.
- Is this event handicap accessible? As much as an event in a field can be. There is no on-site handicap parking, and guests will be required to cross a field to get from the shuttle drop-off to the Symphony seating area. It is fairly level, but still a field. There is not a handicap seating area, as all seating is first come first serve except for event sponsors.
- Can I hear the music from the lake? Absolutely! There will be speakers down by the water’s edge for guests on boats to enjoy.
- Will there be bounce houses or activities for children? Due to space constraints, there will not be bounce houses or games. However, the Symphony is bringing their Instrument Petting Zoo so kids of all ages can try their hand at the instruments played by the orchestra!
