PENCIL’s signature fundraising event, A Little Night of Music, is a unique collaboration with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) that builds a bridge between the music industry and support for public education in Nashville. In 22 years, this intimate event has raised more than $3.8 million for PENCIL and the business engagement that supports Metro Nashville Public School students.
On Monday, May 4th 2026, PENCIL returned to the world-famous Grand Ole Opry House for its 22nd annual A Little Night of Music celebration. During the event, business, civic and community leaders joined PENCIL for an unforgettable evening of food trucks, cocktails, auction items, and a special onstage concert by artists curated by CAA.
Thank you to our event chairs, sponsors, and attendees for supporting this year’s event!
