NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Carrie Underwood received the 2009 Harmony Award at the Symphony Ball Saturday night at Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center.

The Nashville Symphony Ball is Nashville’s premiere winter social event, a white-tie, invitation-only evening benefiting the Nashville Symphony and its music outreach programs. This year marked the event’s 25th anniversary.

“The honor is a wonderful compliment and it’s an amazing feeling being part of the Nashville community,” said Underwood, originally from Checotah. “It was a beautiful evening filled with wonderful music, gorgeous ball gowns and décor, and was definitely an evening to remember.”

Smith, Tony Brown, Mike and Linda Curb, Lyle Lovett, Trisha Yearwood, Dolly Parton, The Judds, Steve Winwood, Vince Gill, Wynonna and Naomi Judd, Chet Atkins, Rascal Flatts, and Martina McBride, the 2008 recipient.
