Musica, at 42-feet tall, is the largest bronze figure group in the United States.

Musica’s nine dancing figures were designed to be the centerpiece of a magnificent fountain for all of Nashville to celebrate music and creativity. The waters will animate the sculpture, bringing rhythm and motion to this joyful work of art. 

When assigned the commission in 1999, sculptor Alan LeQuire chose to represent Nashville’s diverse cultures in the faces of Musica’s figures collectively symbolizing the vast range of music and art created here.
