About

Audience favorite Kirill Gerstein returns to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. "A peerless performer with so much to express" (The Guardian), Gerstein plays Ravel's Piano Concerto for the Left Hand, a piquant piece with jazzy underpinnings. The popular guest conductor Stéphane Denève keeps with the French theme throughout with Ibert’s lighthearted Escales, "Ports of Call," a trio of musical postcards from a trip abroad. The ASO re-enacts The Creation of the World with an extra shot of French whimsy, courtesy of Darius Milhaud, and ends on a high with Gershwin's irresistible love letter to the French capital, An American in Paris.

The chaotic maelstrom of Ravel's La Valse swirled and crashed throughout Symphony Hall as part of our orchestra's latest program this past Thursday and Saturday. This piece was a perfect showcase of the skill and strength of our orchestra under the baton of Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann (@nathstutzmann), and we had the opportunity to capture the essence of the finale during Wednesday's rehearsal. #atlantasymphonyorchestra #orchestra #ravel #rehearsal

It's the age old question - how many brass players can you cram into a light booth? Well, we decided to answer that with this week's performances of Strauss' Eine Alpensinfonie featuring some incredible brass players. Three of them were on double duty so we followed them down to the stage. @raquelhernandezhorn, @zsolt_szabo_trombone, @eburns227, @jefferywhaley, @longbeachironhorn #atlantasymphonyorchestra #orchestra #strauss #brass #horns #trombone #trumpet #offstage
