Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Live
Since its birth in the late 1930s, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra has earned its place as one of the most renowned orchestras in the nation. With over 150 live shows annually, each performance delivers depth and mastery brought forth by the ASO's renowned Maestros and award-winning guest artists. The 2022-2023 season marks the 78th for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and guests can expect a historic and exciting year for classical music in Atlanta. In 2022, the Symphony welcomed its fifth-ever Music Director, Nathalie Stutzmann. Described as "a consummate rock star on the podium" by ArtsATL, Maestro Stutzmann is expected to usher in a new era of musical culture for the ASO and Atlanta as a whole. Stutzmann began her first season featuring 13 living composers, including Hilary Purrington, Tyshawn Sorey and Joel Thompson. In her first season, Stutzmann is also leading eight programs featuring the classical masters, including Beethoven's "Ninth Symphony," Brahms' "Third Symphony" and a two-week Bach celebration culminating in Bach's "St. Matthew Passion." For fans of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra's returning and pop culture series, you won't want to miss highlights like the hit program Star Wars and More: The Music of John Williams or performances of Nobuo Uematsu's Final Fantasy soundtrack with a unique HD video multimedia experience.
Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in Concert
The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra was originally founded by Anne Grace O'Callaghan in 1939 as the In-and-About High School Atlanta Symphony. As Supervisor of Music for Atlanta high schools, O'Callaghan started the passion project by recruiting the best high school players across the region. By 1943, Chicago Conductor Henry Sopkin had joined the ranks to lead the young musicians. The talented group's performances quickly drew the interest of patrons and investors, and by 1945 the Atlanta Music Club had offered Sopkin an eight-month contract to develop the Atlanta Youth Symphony. Finally, in 1947, the Youth Symphony dropped the "Youth" moniker and played their first concert as the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra -- the start of decades to come as a world-renowned institution of classical music. Since then, ASO has traveled nationwide and internationally, been hosted by U.S. Presidents and won 27 Grammy Awards as of 2022 in Best Classical Album, Best Orchestral Performance, Best Choral Performance, and Best Opera Performance categories.
Ordered tickets because my wife had seen the movie and loved the music. I just wanted to hear the music. But, I enjoyed the evening music, movie and all. The orchestra sounded great. Look forward to my next visit to the ASO!
Very neat concept. Symphony playing score. Sound volumes were way off drowning out parts of movie. Symphony stellar as always. Hope next night better. Still very enjoyable!!!
I loved the event. So incredibly amazed at the talent of the ASO and being able to play seamlessly with the movie. One thing I would change is to lower the volume of the movie. I thought it was extremely loud.
Sitting second row loger slightly right of center the audio from the sound track was very harsh and far to loud. In spite of the volume it was difficult to understand voices, especially female voices. The Symphony was most enjoyable while the credits were running at the end of the movie. I loved the concept of musical accompaniment of movies, but you must improve the movie sound.
Loved the performance of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra with one of my favorite movies! It was awesome. I loved every minute,
