Repost from @thecartercenter: Thank you Jennifer Barlament, AtlantaSymphony, ASO Chorus member Michael Devine, and thousands of Atlantans in Piedmont Park for your birthday tribute to President Carter. He loves classical music - and especially the amazing ASO, which played at his inauguration in 1977. #JimmyCarter99. Share (or sing) your birthday greeting at CarterCenter.org

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)
We were so excited to usher in the fireworks at #LookUpATL in @centennial_park on Saturday. It was a great evening of festive music (led by @langleyconducts) accompanied by lots of fun, food and friends. We hope that no matter how you're celebrating this week, you have as much fun as we did! Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸🎆
