As the holidays approach, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus (ASOC) gathers to celebrate a cherished tradition: the annual Christmas concert. For many members, this concert is not just a performance; it's a yearly celebration of the chorus' rich legacy and impact within Atlanta's community.
This year marks the Atlanta Symphony’s 50th anniversary of broadcasting our classical series concert recordings on WABE, 90.1 FM. For over five decades, WABE has been instrumental in disseminating these recordings, providing a platform for the orchestra to showcase their talent to a broader audience who could listen from the comfort of their homes.
