Things to Do in Nashville This November: Nov 1–5

Things to Do in Nashville This November: Nov 1–5 City Guides
A first-week November line-up that moves from Dvořák at Schermerhorn to Jonas Brothers at Bridgestone Arena, with country, comedy, rap and alt-rock in between.

The Nashville Symphony opens the month with Dvořák and John Williams at Schermerhorn, and by Thursday night the same city has Three Days Grace at Bridgestone Arena and Bruce Cockburn at the Country Music Hall of Fame. Few weeks put a film-score orchestra and a Canadian folk-rock veteran this close together.
