ASO - Come Symphony with Us at Piedmont Park
CL RECOMMENDS
CRITIC’S PICK:
Wed., Sep. 9
The City in the Forest, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra’s Free Concert in Piedmont Park — Burgeoning conductor Finan Jones will lead the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in this splendid free concert, starting at 7:30 p.m., of works by Beethoven, Vaughan Williams, Mozart, Vivaldi, Haydn, Smetana and Weir. What’s not to like? The setting is Oak Hill in the southwest corner of Piedmont Park and patrons are urged to come early to guarantee a good spot. Bring a picnic, by all means; food trucks will be on site and there will be family-friendly activities as well, but no pets are allowed. (The dog park will remain open, though).
Jones, a young Londoner, has been lauded for his “instinctive musicality and his passion for music of different genres.” Orchestras he has conducted so far include the English Baroque Soloists, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, London Symphony Orchestra String Ensemble and the Royal Northern Sinfonia. In 2024 Jones was appointed Conducting Fellow of the ASO. — Kevin C. Madigan
