About this audio guide
This guide to the Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville centers on a flood in May of two thousand ten, when Cumberland River water filled the building's lower floors on ground once known as Black Bottom. It follows what got destroyed inside, including the hall's grand pianos and its custom pipe organ, and the months the Nashville Symphony spent unsure whether the doors would reopen. Listen from the public garden along the colonnade, one of the few places in the building open to anyone off the street.
