Oklahoma native Carrie Underwood performed and received the 2009 Harmony Award at the Symphony Ball Saturday night at Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center. The Nashville Symphony Ball is Nashville’s premier winter social event, a white-tie, invitation-only evening benefiting the Nashville Symphony and its music outreach programs. This year marked the event’s 25th anniversary.
“The honor is a wonderful compliment and it’s an amazing feeling being part of the Nashville community,” said Underwood in a news release. “It was a beautiful evening filled with wonderful music, gorgeous ball gowns and décor, and was definitely an evening to remember.”
The Harmony Award is presented annually at Nashville’s Symphony Ball to individuals who have demonstrated continued interest and support of music in Nashville. The recipients exemplify the unique harmony between the many worlds of music that exist in our city and have contributed significantly to the development and appreciation of Nashville’s musical culture.
Previous recipients of the Harmony Award with Oklahoma ties include Owasso resident Trisha Yearwood; Rascal Flatts, which includes Joe Don Rooney of Picher; and Oklahoma City-bred Vince Gill and his wife Amy Grant. Other honorees include LeAnn Rimes, Michael W. Smith, Tony Brown, Mike and Linda Curb, Lyle Lovett, Dolly Parton, The Judds, Steve Winwood, Wynonna and Naomi Judd, Chet Atkins and Martina McBride, the 2008 recipient.
