Imagine a world where the next iconic song is discovered by a community of music
lovers and industry leaders who are champions for artists. **Gift of Music** is
where that magic happens.

## An evening of discovery

Each year, Gift of Music brings together artists, donors, and the Nashville music
community for a night of unforgettable performances. We identify top talent, give
them a platform to showcase their skills, and raise the funds that directly
support creators throughout the year.

Past performers and honorees have included **Katie Pruitt**, **Brandy Zdan**, and
**Julia Gomez** — winner of the 2022 Gift of Music and member of our 2023 Pop
cohort.
