About

Conductor Paolo Bortolameolli makes his Atlanta Symphony Orchestra debut in an all-Czech program, opening with music by Vítězslava Kaprálová—a Renaissance woman and force of nature who pierced glass ceilings as a composer and conductor in the early 20th-century. Christina and Michelle Naughton join the ASO for Martinů’s Concerto for Two Pianos. To round out the evening, Bortolameolli leads the Orchestra in the haunting and exuberant Symphony No. 8 by Antonín Dvořák.
