to perform the music during Nutcracker season. The symphony had to cancel its entire performance season and furlough the musicians. We have an outstanding symphony and ballet company here, which is something people don't necessarily associate with Nashville. I hope they can make it through to the other side of this. The pandemic is just absolutely killing the arts communities everywhere.
