About

Composer Aaron Copland captures the American wilderness in his quintessential ballet score Appalachian Spring, evoking rugged mountains, boundless prairies, and a spirit of hope and possibility. Music Director Laureate Robert Spano wields the mighty forces of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra to bring Copland’s evocative score to life, culminating in the stirring variations on the Shaker tune "Simple Gifts." Maestro Spano ends the concert with Vaughan Williams' Fifth Symphony, a balm written on the eve of war, packed with delicious tonal ambiguity, abundant melodies and spacious serenity. Also on the program, ASO Principal Harpist Elisabeth Remy Johnson performs the GRAMMY-winning Harp Concerto by Atlanta School composer Jennifer Higdon.

After an injury created a setback in his viola career, our new Assistant Librarian James Nelson found a new joy in the music library! James now brings his performing experience to the critical work being done every day behind the scenes at the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Notating parts, proofing scores, securing publishing rights, and so much more go into the very busy lives of our orchestral librarians. But what draws someone to this specialized role? James sat down with us to talk more about the life of an orchestral librarian. #atlantasymphonyorchestra #orchestra #library #librarian #interview

Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann counts Anton Bruckner among her three favorite composers. As Bruckner's works can find themselves less programmed in the United States, we invited the Maestro herself into the hall after rehearsal to talk about what makes the Austrian's symphonies so intriguing to bring to the stage. Find out yourself tomorrow night 🎟️ #linkinbio #atlantasymphonyorchestra #orchestra #interview #bruckner #q&a

The difference between a good performance and one you'll never forget is all in the details. Yesterday's rehearsal with Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann was a masterclass in capturing the subtle nuances that make Bruckner's Symphony No. 4 a true work of art to perform and experience. Come to Symphony Hall to hear the end result of this rehearsal process when your orchestra performs Bruckner tonight and Saturday. #atlantasymphonyorchestra #orchestra #bruckner #rehearsal #rehearsalclip

What would a mesmerizing concerto be without a little lore?? Principal Flutist Christina Smith shared a story and some thoughts on her upcoming performance of C.P.E. Bach's Flute Concerto in D minor with the orchestra this Thu/Sat. There's aren't many chances to hear flute concertos, and this one is paired with Bruckner's "Romantic" 4th Symphony, so make sure to get your tickets today for a memorable performance.

Today, we are privileged to honor our Veterans for their service and sacrifice on this day of appreciation and remembrance.

We are proud to continue this partnership this season in appreciation of our military. If you are a Veteran or active-duty service member, you can register here to take advantage of this special offer ▶️ https://bit.ly/4emMdNl #atlantasymphonyorchestra #veterans #veteransday
