ECHO Chamber Music Series
A uniquely Nashville musical experience, the ECHO Chamber Music 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.
Celebrating our 6th season, the new ECHO lineup offers five amazing performances in the intimate setting of the Parthenon! ECHO's 2025-2026 season is supported by Integrum Wealth and KP Injury Law.
