About

Derived from an entirely different set of thirty films, from the Wizard of Oz to Mary Poppins to Game of Thrones to Harry Potter to The Lion King. An entertaining and enlightening review of all the science that our favorite movies got wrong, combined with some of the stuff they got right. Incorporates the latest films as well as some classics that you may not have known had any science in them at all.

Don't miss your chance to buy an autographed copy of Dr. Tysons new book Starry Messenger! Plan to pick up your copy on the night of the show.

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

We caught up backstage today with Joel Thompson, composer of "To Awaken the Sleeper," which is featured on this weekend's concerts! More info at link in bio.

Look what we found in the ASO Archives: an autographed photo given to us by this week's guest artist, Emanuel Ax, on a previous visit. We can't wait to welcome him back to our stage this Thursday & Saturday for Opening Weekend and some Mozart!
