About

The ASO's UpTempo event is a dynamic preconcert session designed for middle and high schoolers. This evening, Jeffrey Rowser, Director of Bands at Woodward Academy, and Chris McMichen, Retired Music Educator, will delve into Beethoven's Symphonies I & III, discussing the profound impact of Beethoven's progressing hearing loss on these masterpieces. The program will feature a performance by a student musician and an interactive Q&A. After the UpTempo event, you are invited to stay for the ASO's Delta Classical Series Concert.

This event will take place in the Circle Room at the Woodruff Arts Center. The Circle Room is located on the 3rd floor of the Memorial Arts Building.

Please Note: The classical performance tickets are included with the UpTempo ticket purchase, but tickets are not distributed until the end of the UpTempo event. Attending the UpTempo event is required to secure tickets for the ASO concert.

“Rise up, follow me, come away is the call. With the love in your heart as the only song. There is no such beauty as where you belong. Rise up, follow me, I will lead you home.” We honor the memory and legacy of President Jimmy Carter, who passed away yesterday surrounded by those he loved. A true friend of ours and a passionate advocate for the arts, President Carter worked tirelessly to make the world a better place. Our Chamber Chorus was privileged to join in the celebration of President Carter’s 100th birthday earlier this year and we look back fondly on that date as we remember a truly incredible human being. #atlantasymphonyorchestra #orchestra #ASOchamberchorus #presidentcarter #inmemoriam
