The Classical Cookout is one of the most joyful, high-energy experiences presented by the Nashville African American Wind Symphony—and it’s all about music, community, and good vibes under open skies.
Held every year in SEPTEMBER, this vibrant outdoor concert blends the power and precision of a wind symphony with the soul of R&B, hip-hop, gospel, funk, and popular music.
The result? A fresh, feel-good performance that’s demonstrates that classical music can be both excellent and accessible.
