2025/26 Classical Season
Come Symphony With Us
Our new season continues its exploration of great choral masterworks with Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann at the helm, including the completion of the Beethoven Project with a performance of his Ninth Symphony featuring the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus.
In my programs, we will focus on major choral works. Conducting the large forces on stage when we have the chorus of over one hundred and fifty singers with the orchestra is something I always cherish.
Nathalie Stutzmann
Your orchestra also tackles works by American composers as part of the America @ 250 celebration recognizing our country's bisesquicentennial with programs have been curated to reflect both historical and current American culture. It includes works that cross the line between classical and jazz, prominent works that were commissioned and premiered in America, works by expats living in America, and the multi-cultural tapestry of cultures that is America today.
