Join us for an evening out at the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra on Sat Feb 15, 2024! Reserve your discounted tickets via this link.
We start the night off with a reception at 6pm featuring lights bites and drinks as well as a brief introduction to the music from Jimmy Paulk (BUS '83) currently Senior Annual Giving Officer at ASO, former music critic with the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
We then head over for the main program at 8pm which opens with Sibelius’ lushly Romantic Symphony No. 1. This is followed by the spectacular 20th-century oratorio Belshazzar’s Feast, a piece that conjures pagan revelry, cataclysm and rejoicing with striking vividness. Drawn from the Old Testament tale, Walton’s 1931 jazz-inspired score calls for an enormous orchestra and vocal ensemble, leaning into the world-class artistry of the magnificent Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus. GRAMMY-winning bass-baritone Nathan Berg joins the ensemble. Popular Atlanta Symphony guest conductor Vasily Petrenko conducts.
