About

In 1874, Modest Mussorgsky attended an art show presented in memory of his friend, the artist Viktor Hartmann—it knocked him sideways. Returning home, he wrote a set of commemorative piano pieces, each representing a different work of art. It was a touching tribute. But it took a master orchestrator to make those paintings bloom. In 1922, Maurice Ravel infused Mussorgsky’s pieces with his unrivaled genius for orchestral color, and the rest is history. 

Hear one of the most popular orchestral showpieces of all time, Pictures at an Exhibition, rendered by the virtuosic players of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Guest conductor Han-Na Chang makes her ASO debut along with violin soloist Sayaka Shoji. The program includes the sassy Violin Concerto No. 1 by Prokofiev and Anna Clyne’s This Midnight Hour.

Did you know that July 31 is Uncommon Instrument Awareness Day? ASO bassist and composer Michael Kurth is also an avid collector of musical instruments, and in honor of the day, we had him bring some in for show-and-tell. Some of these instruments are uncommon in symphonic music and are heard more often in other genres, but others are truly one of a kind! (Violimba, anyone?) #uncommoninstrumentawarenessday

A week ago, the world lost legendary pianist André Watts. Watts made his Atlanta Symphony Orchestra debut in 1976 and returned to our stage often over the course of his extraordinary career—including recording Tchaikovsky's first piano concerto and Saint-Saëns' second with the ASO in 1995. We are grateful to have had these opportunities to create music with him, and send deepest condolences to his loved ones. (Pictured: Watts with then-ASO Music Director Robert Spano after a performance in 2013)
