ECHO Chamber Music Series
ECHO, the engaging chamber music series presented by Centennial Park Conservancy returns to the Parthenon! The winter series captivates audiences with music composed and arranged for the unique reverb of the Parthenon Naos and performed in front of the 42-foot statue of Athena. ECHO also established The Parthenon Sessions, which capture songwriters and string ensembles in a multi-tracked audio and video experience.
ECHO is made possible by Amazon, HCA Healthcare Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, Pinnacle Financial Partners, Sandra Schatten Foundation, Tennessee Arts Commission, the Parthenon, and Metro Parks.
