Concertmaster Series at the Knoxville Museum of Art

In the Ann and Steve Bailey Hall at the Knoxville Museum of Art, the Concertmaster Series offers an intimate alternative to the traditional symphony concert. The series highlights Knoxville Symphony Orchestra concertmaster William Shaub alongside special guests, with the smaller room bringing audiences close to the music. It’s a focused, up-close way to experience orchestral performance.

The orchestra behind the series is a longtime fixture in Tennessee. Founded in 1935, the Knoxville Symphony is the second-oldest continuing orchestra in the southeastern United States, and it has welcomed internationally known soloists and conductors over the years. For anyone in Knoxville, the series provides a chance to hear the ensemble's principal musicians in a relaxed, small-room setting.
