Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Tickets

I had not heard my hometown orchestra in person since the 1970s, and was gratified that the foundations of Henry Sopkin and refinements of Robert Shaw are still bearing fruit. From my orchestra seat the ensemble cohered and produced convincing interpretations of a late Romantic warhorse and contemporary pieces. Plus, I welcomed the bright acoustics in the very familiar hall. The evening renewed my appreciation of the orchestra that introduced me as a child to Prokofiev through “Peter and the Wolf” and to Britten through “A Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, “ and later as an adult to the Russian’s sophisticated works and to the Britisher’s War Requiem (twice under Shaw). Long live the Atlanta Symphony.

We visited the ASO for the Rachmaninoff Symphony #2 and fully enjoyed the performance and the sound of the musicians. Wonderful time and great show to see for those familiar and unfamiliar with classical music.

The Britten concerto was expertly played by talented Yeol Eym Sol. The conductor Dimitry Metvienko was masterful bringing the entire symphony to full expression . Rachmaninov Symphony #2 and s one of my favorites and was beautifully melodic. A full house at the hall was receptive to an excellent program of top musicians.

We always love the ASO and try to go 2-4 times a year. This concert was advertised as Gershwin/rhapsody in blue. I enjoyed 50% if the concert but half was just terrible music. Nothing like Gershwin. We almost left.

This piece of music was our father‘s favorite so we grew up with it and I’ve seen it performed many times, in many cities and by many artists. THIS PERFORMANCE WITH THE ASO AND THE PIANIST CEDRIC TIBERGJIEN was SPECTACULAR, and the best I have ever heard, bar none.

One of my favorite "semi-classical"pieces is Rapsody in Blue. When I saw it on the season schedule, I ran to get a ticket! Couldn't wipe the smile off my face during the performance.

Rhapsody in Blue was amazing! Gershwin is an American treasure.

To come together with a room full of strangers and have an almost sacred experience… that’s what the Schumann, Beethoven and Mendelssohn concert meant to me. I had important decisions on my mind and the Atlanta Symphony helped to bring me some comfort and joy!!!

We are long time ASO patrons and enjoyed Saturday night’s performance. Pires was excellent playing Beethoven on the piano. The symphony under Stutzmans’ leadership makes every note count. The Schumann selection was appropriate for the evening. It’s a rare night to have two German composers featured.

Nathalie Stolzmann is a wonder. The combination with Pires was a revelation.
