"Oracle's commitment is a lifeline for the Nashville Symphony and the community we serve," said Mark Tillinger, president and CEO, Nashville Symphony. "Oracle's partnership gives us the ability to bring our musicians and our music back to the stage, and it gives us momentum as we build toward a stronger, more sustainable long-term future. We're immensely grateful for Oracle's belief in the Nashville Symphony."
"It's an extraordinary relief to be able to welcome a new corporate partner to arts philanthropy in Nashville," said Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell. "Oracle's generosity ensures that the upcoming season will not be lost. For years, the Nashville Symphony has entertained fans—including me—and it's encouraging to see the steps its new leadership is taking to ensure that remains true for years to come."
The partnership enables the Symphony to reinstate the 2026-27 season along with its full-time staff members and all members of the orchestra who were to be furloughed on Oct. 18 due to a financial emergency.
"Nashville is a city that understands how music can bring people together," said Clay Magouyrk, CEO, Oracle. "We are part of this community and understand how important cultural institutions like this are to the residents of Nashville. As Oracle builds its new headquarters on Nashville's East Bank, we are here to help solve the community's problems and ensure Nashville remains a vibrant place to live and work for generations to come."
