Centennial Park Conservancy is introducing a new live music series inside Nashville’s historic Parthenon, the most unique setting in Music City. ECHO is an engaging chamber music series that will feature new classical and choral music composed for the unique reverb of the Parthenon Naos and performed in front of the 42 foot statue of Athena. This concert, featuring **chatterbird**, is the fourth in a series of evening events at the Parthenon featuring new works composed for the Parthenon by young Nashville composers.

For this concert, chatterbird will partner with JayVe Montgomery, recently named Best Solo Performer by the Nashville Scene in 2019’s Best of Nashville Awards. Montgomery will curate improvisations inspired by film clips from Metro Nashville’s Audiovisual Heritage Center.

Chatterbird is in its third year of a project that explores footage from the archives, partnering with musicians and composers to curate improvisations inspired by the footage. Sourced films showcase landmarks, natural scenes, historical figures, cultural happenings, and political movements from the past eight decades in our city.
