Shostakovich Symphony No. 5

About

Both Sergei Prokofiev and Dmitri Shostakovich lived under the thumb of the Soviet tyrant Joseph Stalin. Both suffered persecution at the hands of the apparatchiks, and both wrote brilliant music despite them. This week, Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann guides the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra into the evocative soundscapes of Prokofiev and Shostakovich. With a kaleidoscope of orchestral color, Maestro Stutzmann and the ASO bring out the power, nuance and audacity of these legends. The Sinfonia concertante features "one of the finest among the astonishing gallery of young virtuoso cellists" (Gramophone magazine), Johannes Moser.

Nola Frink, long-time ASO Choral Administrator and executive assistant to Robert Shaw, passed away peacefully in her home on September 28th. Members of our team have called her "an irrepressible force of nature" and the person who "enabled Shaw to take the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus to unparalleled professional heights." In celebration of her tremendous legacy, we share a few words from those who knew her best. Read more at link in bio.

Nathalie Stutzmann (@nathstutzmann) tells Sameed Afghani, our Vice President & General Manager, about selecting the repertoire for her first official concert as Music Director of the ASO.

Two musicians from Macon brought amazing energy to a performance last night that was a little bit classical, a little bit rock and roll. Thanks to Mike Mills and Robert McDuffie for lighting up the stage! 🎻🎸 Tonight at 8pm, you have one more chance to catch "R.E.M. Explored," which pairs the music of R.E.M. reimagined in a symphonic context with the Mike Mills Concerto for Violin, Rock Band & Orchestra.

We began our 2022/23 season with six new musicians in the Orchestra, and we can’t wait to introduce them to you! This #NewMusicianMonday, meet Eun Young Jung, Second Violin. She has played the violin since the age of 9, enjoys jazz and bossa nova, and if she could have one superpower? “I would say Dr. Dolittle’s ability to communicate with animals.” . . . #lovemyaso #atlantasymphony #atlantasymphonyorchestra #violin #violinist #violinistsofinstagram
