Gala Event

As part of the celebrations in conjunction with the Nashville Pops Orchestra’s “1,000 Voices of Christmas”, we are inviting a limited number of music lovers to a very special evening – on Saturday the 16th of November, 2019, the night before the Christmas concert. This exclusive event will include a gourmet dinner with guest of honor Kathie Lee Gifford who is, of course, the star of the following night’s concert.

Four-Time Emmy winner and former co-host of the fourth hour of “TODAY”, Kathie has enjoyed a wide range of success as an actress, author, songwriter, singer, and playwright.  Probably best recognized for her talk show Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee, she has also been a NY Times best-selling author.

An Exclusive Event

This Exclusive Event will feature a magnificent 5-course dinner, great entertainment, including selections from Kathie’s wine collection “GIFFT”.  This event will undoubtedly be one of the events of the season. Great food, great wines, great company and your chance to hear from Ms. Gifford as she recounts some of the more amusing anecdotes from her stellar career and gives you a glimpse of her visions for the future – here in Nashville, where she now owns a home!

Kathie may have retired from the TODAY show, but she certainly hasn’t retired from life.

Since leaving “Today”, she has been spending most of her time in Nashville, to pursue a multitude of interests, including acting, writing and directing for film and TV. She’s also devoted time to promoting her line of fine wines under the name of GIFFT, that she developed in partnership with the Scheid Family Winery.

Our Inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award

The Nashville Pops Orchestra is thrilled to be presenting its first-ever Lifetime Achievement
Award to Kathie Lee Gifford.  As one of the most recognized names in the history of broadcasting, she has touched the hearts of tens-of-millions, and is a life-long champion of numerous children’s organizations.  A devoted humanitarian, she received an honorary degree from Marymount University for her humanitarian work in labor relations.

Don’t miss it!

It will be an amazing evening… Fantastic food, extraordinary wines and the company of one of the most charismatic and vivacious entertainers in the history of broadcasting.
