Ballet Ball is Nashville Ballet’s largest annual fundraiser, bringing together over 600 of the city’s most prominent philanthropists and patrons of the arts for a special black-tie affair. Ballet Ball is invite-only, but Ballet Ball Late Party is open to the community and offers Nashville’s young movers and shakers a chic evening of cocktails and light bites, followed by the much-anticipated gala performance and dancing.

Partially inspired by the Jefferson Street music scene of the mid-20th century and Nashville’s resulting TV show Night Train, Ballet Ball will feature entertainment curated in creative collaboration with the National Museum of African American Music: world-renowned choir the Fisk Jubilee Singers®, blues-rock duo Muddy Magnolias and GRAMMY/Dove/Emmy award-winning producer Shannon Sanders.
