Firebird Finale with Nathalie Stutzmann

CRITIC’S PICK: Return to the future when the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (ASO) conjures up the Belle Époque with performances of music by Maurice Ravel and Igor Stravinsky on Thu., Jun. 13, Sat., Jun. 15, Sun., Jun. 16. “The Beautiful Time” was a period at the turn of the 20th century when Paris was home to many luminaries, such as Stravinsky, Ravel, Pablo Picasso, Claude Debussy, Gertrude Stein, Henri Matisse, and Marcel Proust, whose influence on Western art and music remains strong in the 21st century. For the closing concert of the 2023-24 season, Maestro Nathalie Stutzmann will conduct the ASO in a performance of Stravinsky’s breakthrough ballet, The Firebird, and Maurice Ravel’s Alborada del gracioso (Morning Song of the Jester) and Menuet antique. Also on the program is the return of German violin virtuoso Veronika Eberle performing Beethoven’s bravura Violin Concerto. — Doug DeLoach
