Brad Paisley has been named as the recipient of the Nashville Symphony’s 2013 Harmony award. Paisley will be honored during the 29th annual Symphony Ball, which will take place Dec. 14 at Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center. Each December during the Symphony Ball fundraiser, the Nashville Symphony presents the Harmony Award to an individual who exemplifies the harmonious spirit of Nashville’s thriving musical community.
Previous recipients of the honor include Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Trisha Yearwood, Vince Gill, Wynonna and Naomi Judd, Chet Atkins, Martina McBride, LeAnn Rimes and Keith Urban.
“As one of country music’s biggest stars, Brad has made a huge impact by staying true to his artistic and personal vision,” says Alan Valentine, CEO and President of the Nashville Symphony, “We can’t think of anyone today more deserving of this award, which over the years has honored the many artists who’ve helped make Nashville the thriving creative capital that it is today. Without a doubt, Brad’s talents and contribution to the music of Nashville have been outstanding.”
Paisley will attend the Symphony Ball to accept the award and to perform a song with the orchestra.
