There are more than you might think! These are the professional orchestras I know of:

Nashville Symphony

Memphis Symphony Orchestra

Knoxville Symphony Orchestra
Murfreesboro Symphony Orchestra

Chattanooga Symphony

Bryan Symphony Orchestra (Cookeville)
Jackson Symphony Orchestra
Symphony of the Mountains (Kingsport)

Sorry if I missed your town, please add it in! It's a big state.

In addition, there are youth orchestras attached to almost all of the above; there are some fine community/volunteer orchestras and university orchestras as well.

An interesting side of the orchestral musician's life in Tennessee is that the orchestras in the smaller cities usually program fewer concerts, so it is possible for a musician to play in more than one orchestra. In fact, some wind players (who may or may not be required for everything an orchestra plays) work on a contract basis with three or four different orchestras over the course of a season.
