Question: If Bach lived in #Atlanta today, how do you think the great composer (and father of 20!) would be celebrating #FathersDay with his family? One thing’s for certain, he’d be sure to catch the exciting new musical documentary In the Key of Bach, premiering today at 4pm on @gpbmedia. Thoughts?🍿 . . . #bach #johannsebastianbach #atlanta #weloveatl #lovemyaso #baroquemusiclovers #filmedinatlanta #filmedinatl Directed by @hilan1508

The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra stands in support of Asians, Asian-Americans, and Pacific Islanders in the Atlanta community and beyond in standing against racism, violence, hatred, scapegoating, and xenophobia.⠀ ⠀ We mourn the victims of the March 16 shooting rampage in the Atlanta area that took eight lives, including six women of Asian descent. These events took place against the larger backdrop of an escalation of anti-Asian violence since the beginning of the pandemic.⠀ ⠀ The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra family is coming together to discuss how we can combat anti-Asian hate, as part of our commitment to fight against all hate, racism, and discrimination. Through music and advocacy, we continue our efforts to create a greater sense of belonging, inclusion and understanding for all in the ASO and the Atlanta community.⠀ ⠀ To learn what you can do to stop AAPI hate and to support the families of the victims of the March 16 shootings, visit:⠀ • stopAAPIhate.org⠀ • GoFundMe.com/c/act/Atlanta-Spa-Shootings
