Music of Memphis in May

Encore Symposiums is heading to America’s Home of the Blues and Birthplace of Rock -n- Roll. Memphis, here we come!

 

The historic streets and sites of Memphis will be easy to discover from the legendary Peabody, our symposium site. It is conveniently located within walking distance to Memphis Rock-N-Soul Museum, Gibson Guitar Factory, National Civil Rights Museum, Sun Studio, Orpheum Theatre and the neon lights of Beale Street.

 

Beale Street is where you will want to be during our stay! Encore Symposiums has strategically planned the schedule to coincide with the 2012 Beale Street Music festival!

 

This three-day, multistage event is best known for its eclectic mix of contemporary rock, blues, soul and modern talent and its musically inspired setting.  The festival is held in a beautiful 25-acre riverfront park at the foot of historic Beale Street overlooking the mighty Mississippi River.

 

After spending the weekend immersed in America’s cultural music beat, settle into four days of dynamic presentations organized to allow participants to explore much more of what Memphis has to offer. Discover unbelievable shopping, amazing restaurants including world-famous BBQ, a cruise down the Mississippi River aboard the Memphis Riverboat and an easy trip to Graceland!
