This special event marked the grand finale of Belmont’s pioneering Music Business program's 50th anniversary and showcased some of our most accomplished alumni, including Trisha Yearwood, Tyler Hubbard, and Hailey Whitters.

"Our Music Business program has a rich history that began as a partnership between Belmont and Music Row," said Brittany Schaffer, Dean of the Mike Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business. "We were thrilled to honor this legacy on country music’s most famous stage."
Since its inception in 1973, Belmont’s Music Business program grew into a powerhouse, producing over 6,000 alumni and expanding into specialized areas like audio engineering, songwriting, and film. This event was a testament to the enduring legacy of Belmont in the music industry.
