In the nearly 20 years that I’ve been involved with the Nashville Symphony’s community concert in Shelbyville, I can’t recall that we’ve ever taken a field trip to any of the symphony’s other concerts. That oversight will be corrected tonight, as Dawn Holley and I check out the concert at Cumberland University in Lebanon.

Of course, most of the things we need to exchange information about aren’t related to the actual night of the concert — they’re things like promotion or publicity ideas. But it will still be fun to see how another community handles its concert.

It’s been a long day at work, and this will be a nice diversion.
