A Nashville favorite returns for another beautiful fall gathering

This fall, award-wining songwriters will gather again at Vanderbilt Dyer Observatory for an unforgettable afternoon of music, community, and conversation surrounded by the beauty of Radnor Lake.

Since 2018, Radnor in the Round has brought together music lovers, families, and supporters of Radnor Lake for an intimate songwriter experience unlike any other in Nashville.

Nashville’s most celebrated songwriters trade the stage lights and their busy touring schedules for the highest hilltop in Nashville. They share the stories behind the songs and perform the hits that made you fall in love, sing along, and turn the radio up just a little louder.

This is Radnor in the Round.

Bring a blanket. Pack a picnic. Gather your favorite people and enjoy incredible music while helping protect one of Tennessee’s most treasured natural places.
