Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Information
The ASO is an American symphony orchestra from Atlanta, Georgia. Atlanta Symphony Hall, located within the Woodruff Arts Center, is the primary site for ASO concerts. The current Orchestra didn't legally form until 1945, though there had been groups with that name since 1923.
That same year, they performed their first concert as the Atlanta Youth Symphony, conducted by Henry Sopkin, a music instructor from Chicago who would stay with the group until 1966.
Isaac Stern and Glenn Gould were among the famous soloists the group began to draw after changing its name to its present one in 1947. The Orchestra's plans to build a new main performance venue have been in the works since 2005.
Alpharetta, a hamlet in north Fulton County, is about 22 miles north of Atlanta. In 2008, the ASO completed its new 12,000-seat Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park. The venue hosts concerts by both the ASO and other pop organizations.
Nathalie Stutzmann made her ASO guest conducting debut in December 2020. She triumphantly returned for a second guest conducting engagement in a quarantine performance webcasted in February 2021.
