MUSIC IN MOTION
THE SYMBOL FOR OUR CITY
Iconic structures become symbols of the world’s great cities: The Sydney Opera House, The Eiffel Tower, Trevi Fountain, The Statue of Liberty. Nashville is ready for a symbol consistent with its international reputation and abundant creativity.

Nashville’s story has always been connected with water. The Cumberland River, which flows through downtown Nashville, has shaped our geography, our commerce, our neighborhoods and our culture. Like the waters, creativity runs throughout Music City.
Completing Musica with the addition of the fountains reflects music, culture, education and creativity as our core identity. Fountains of Musica will be a legacy for those who inherit this city and a signal of what we value as a community.
The sculpture was originally commissioned to be part of an iconic fountain. The work itself represents the moment of artistic inspiration. Nine dancing figures are tilted outward as if bursting from the earth. Sculptor, Alan LeQuire used everyday people as models to capture humanity, movement and exuberance.
ART, MUSIC & COMMUNITY
Fountains of Musica will transform the area into a beautiful, welcoming public space, provide a gathering place for locals and visitors alike, fostering connections and community. This bold addition to Music Row will serve as a lasting symbol of Nashville’s artistic spirit and reinforce the city’s reputation as a hub for innovation and culture.
REINFORCE OUR STATUS AS A GLOBAL CENTER FOR THE ARTS
“As entertainers, we come here with dreams to fulfill. As fans, we come to experience the place where the music of our lives comes from. Now with the Roundabout, Musica, and the new fountains, our beloved city will have a proper introduction.”
Reba McEntire, entertainer
