Robert Spano Conducts Rachmaninoff, Bernstein, and Theofanidis

“The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra sounds simply stunning, with richly detailed strings and smashing wind playing . . . From the opening bars, I love the delicate hesitancy that Spano creates… There’s a breathtaking sense of anticipation and atmosphere that I really appreciate.”—Classical Net

The incomparable Stephen Hough, one of the greatest players of our time, returns to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra for Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3. Music Director Laureate Robert Spano returns to conduct a pair of Bernstein symphonies over a two-week residency. This week’s concert shines a spotlight on the ASO brass in Bernstein’s tumultuous Jeremiah Symphony, based on the Biblical prophet. The Orchestra welcomes the Grammy Award-winning mezzo-soprano Kelley O’Connor.
