CL RECOMMENDS
CL’s Doug DeLoach Recommends: The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (ASO) is offering two new ways to enjoy upcoming concerts on April 13 and June 11. The concerts will be projected on the wall of the Bunzl building in the Woodruff Arts Center’s Sifly Piazza, a wonderful setting when the weather cooperates. The concerts will begin promptly at 8 p.m. as a complimentary, non-ticketed event. Seating is first-come, first-served. BYO chair or blanket. Food and beverages will be available for purchase. Outside food and beverages will not be permitted. The performances will also be livestreamed online at aso.org/livestreams and the ASO’s Facebook and YouTube channels. The April 13 concert features Robert Spano conducting the ASO and renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma in a performance of Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9, “From the New World,” followed by the Czeck composer’s monumental Cello Concerto in B minor. The June 11 concert features Spano conducting the ASO in Mahler’s Third Symphony joined by mezzo-soprano Kelley O’Connor, the Gwinnett Young Singers and the ASO Chorus. – DD
From the venue:
From the moment he walks on stage, you know you’re in the presence of greatness. Cellist Yo-Yo Ma has played to sold-out houses around the world, and this special performance will be no exception. Subscribers have priority access — and possibly the only access — to this incredible program featuring Dvořák’s Cello Concerto alongside his Symphony No. 9, the famous piece written “From the New World.”
