Concert Season

2010-2011 Season Highlights

The Atlanta Philharmonic’s sixth season starts in September with Dvorak’s “From the New World” Symphony and later presents Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite and Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony. Soloists this season include violinist Andrew Sord and Adam Frey on euphonium, as well as our bassoon section leader Joe Sarra. Look for us at the 40th Atlanta Pride Festival in October and appearing again at the Mozart for Motorheadsfestival in Stone Mountain next spring.

You can find concert dates and program details on the new Concerts page of our reorganized website. More information about each performance, such as bios of our soloists and program notes, will be posted as the date nears.

We are delighted that Mirna Ogrizovic-Ciric returns as conductor, and during this season, we will also be undergoing a formal search for a concertmaster. “I’ve been with the orchestra since the first concert in 2005,” said APO President James D. Goodwin, “and I have to say that this orchestra has grown by leaps and bounds since then.”

Please consider becoming a Friend of the APO to enjoy discounted ticket pricing and to show your support of this organization.

We look forward to sharing fine music with you!

“Mozart for Motorheads,” Stone Mountain

On the second Saturday in May Stone Mountain has a classic car show and a symphony performance on the pavilion lawn just behind Main Street in the Stone Mountain Village.  The event begins at 4:00 P.M. and usually lasts until 9:00 P.M. and is free to the public.  Refreshments will be available at a minimal cost, but we also suggest that you visit one of our local restaurants and purchase a meal to bring and enjoy as you watch the show.
