Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Live
Since its birth in the late 1930s, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra has earned its place as one of the most renowned orchestras in the nation. With over 150 live shows annually, each performance delivers depth and mastery brought forth by the ASO's renowned Maestros and award-winning guest artists. The 2022-2023 season marks the 78th for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and guests can expect a historic and exciting year for classical music in Atlanta. In 2022, the Symphony welcomed its fifth-ever Music Director, Nathalie Stutzmann. Described as "a consummate rock star on the podium" by ArtsATL, Maestro Stutzmann is expected to usher in a new era of musical culture for the ASO and Atlanta as a whole. Stutzmann began her first season featuring 13 living composers, including Hilary Purrington, Tyshawn Sorey and Joel Thompson. In her first season, Stutzmann is also leading eight programs featuring the classical masters, including Beethoven's "Ninth Symphony," Brahms' "Third Symphony" and a two-week Bach celebration culminating in Bach's "St. Matthew Passion." For fans of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra's returning and pop culture series, you won't want to miss highlights like the hit program Star Wars and More: The Music of John Williams or performances of Nobuo Uematsu's Final Fantasy soundtrack with a unique HD video multimedia experience.
Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in Concert
The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra was originally founded by Anne Grace O'Callaghan in 1939 as the In-and-About High School Atlanta Symphony. As Supervisor of Music for Atlanta high schools, O'Callaghan started the passion project by recruiting the best high school players across the region. By 1943, Chicago Conductor Henry Sopkin had joined the ranks to lead the young musicians. The talented group's performances quickly drew the interest of patrons and investors, and by 1945 the Atlanta Music Club had offered Sopkin an eight-month contract to develop the Atlanta Youth Symphony. Finally, in 1947, the Youth Symphony dropped the "Youth" moniker and played their first concert as the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra -- the start of decades to come as a world-renowned institution of classical music. Since then, ASO has traveled nationwide and internationally, been hosted by U.S. Presidents and won 27 Grammy Awards as of 2022 in Best Classical Album, Best Orchestral Performance, Best Choral Performance, and Best Opera Performance categories.

Concert was magnificent!and conductor was amazing!
we had the best time at the john williams tribute night. it was an affordable and entertaining way to have our kids experience the symphony for the first time. we loved it. we will plan to come back!! not only was it incredible music, but the conductor was so knowledgeable and hilarious. there were also photo opportunities to interact with characters from john williams movies!!
Great concert line up, host/conductor was very engaging and informative. Orchestra was top tier. Sound system was woefully inadequate. I know there are better was to amplify the sound of an orchestra - I have been to the Hollywood Bowl and 2/3 of the way from the stage you can hear every nuance. Not the case with this orchestra concert. Get a better system for this venue or stop having this sort of concert
The experience was great. The actors were a great touch to connect with the attendees. My only gripe was that it was not loud enough when the orchestra played.
Music was great. It was beautiful evening with a good breeze. Just wish it had been louder. Not sure how the people on the lawn even heard the music. The noise from vendors closing up was louder than the music and distracting.
My friend and I went to see the concert and it was a wonderful experience. The orchestra is insanely talented especially the flute section and I am looking forward to going to more concerts in the future!
It was a fantastic show at Ameris Amphitheater. The venue was comfortable.
We love this performance and try to see it each year. Much prefer the venue in Alpharetta, GA vs. Peachtree City, GA (due to our home location). I would recommend this show to anyone of any age. A real treat!
Love the ASO, love the venue. Great view even at the back of the seats and sound was perfect. Paid for Premier parking and only had to walk a few feet to get to the entrance. Water bottle filling station was appreciated. Only minor gripe was security, overbearing as usual but that's everywhere now.
