The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum will mark the centennial anniversary of the Grand Ole Opry—the longest-running radio show in the United States and one of the most important radio programs in broadcasting history—in a new exhibition, Country’s Grandest Stage: The Opry at 100. The Opry began on Nov. 28, 1925, when Nashville radio station WSM aired a performance by fiddler Uncle Jimmy Thompson. Inspired by the public’s enthusiastic response, the station’s program director, George D. Hay, created a weekly barn dance featuring local performers, which tapped into America’s deep vein of folk music and set the stage for what would become country music’s most beloved and enduring institution. The exhibit will examine notable performers and key moments in the show’s history. This conversation will feature Country Music Hall of Fame member Vince Gill, Grammy-winning country artist Carly Pearce (both Opry members), as well as Dan Rogers, senior vice president and executive producer of the Grand Ole Opry. The Museum’s Paul Kingsbury will moderate the discussion. Presented in support of the exhibit Country’s Grandest Stage: The Opry at 100. Ford Theater. Included with Museum admission.

Members may reserve tickets here beginning August 21 at 10 a.m. Non-members may purchase Museum admission and reserve program tickets here beginning August 22 at 10 a.m.
