I just got back from seeing Black Panther at the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. It was an amazing experience and the orchestra even flew in the gentleman that plays the special drums from Africa. I believe he’s from Senegal? Highly recommend if you can snag a ticket. Anyone else saw the performance?
Hey r/dragoncon! I have a question for you. I have a relative who plays in the ASO concert every year and I make sure to go every year. He asked me after this year about other pieces of music they should play. So I figured I would do some crowd sourcing. What are some songs from any shows/movies that you all would love to hear live?
EDIT: As has been pointed out it is actually Georgia Philharmonic who plays at the con. My mistake.
For those who don't know, current students can buy a ASO season pass at the Ferst Center Box Office for $22 that offers free entry to all of the Symphony's Classical Series concerts. Even if you only want to go to a single concert, it's way cheaper than buying a ticket normally, and there's still 13 concerts left this season, with the first one this Thursday, January 17 (I already can't wait!)
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in meeting up before the concerts to chat, grab some food, or just get to know fellow classical music fans at Tech. I'll be attending almost all of the Thursday concerts and would be happy to manage organizational details if enough people want to go. There's also a second performance on Saturday if a weeknight is too busy.
Feedback definitely appreciated!

Jane Little, 87 years old, and Guiness Book of World Records holder for longest tenure with an orchestra, passed away after suddenly collapsing on stage during a performance.
Cheers to you, Jane. Rest in peace!
Is anyone planning on going to the ASO concert tomorrow? I want to but I would rather not walk there and back alone.
...absolutely slayed Rachmaninov's 2nd Piano Concerto. It was a packed and very enthusiastic crowd. If some of you all need fun date/event ideas and have neglected the ASO up until now, definitely give it a chance.
Excited to live stream the ASO + Joshua Bell performance tonight. On the program: Wagner, Wieniawski, Higdon and Sarasate. Hope you can tune, despite the UGA game ;)
Will be full performance, multi-camera angles (including from inside the orchestra!) and for those interested, we're using BoxCast.
Tonight, September 21, 8pm EST
Watch on Facebook, YouTube or the ASO website.
We are going to see a concert there on august 9th. First time there, any dress code? Thanks!

Hello all. I decided to attend the 8 PM Harlem Symphony Orchestra event at the Atlanta Symphony Hall, after getting free tickets from the Ferst Arts promotion. I have never attended such an event, therefore I do not know what the dress etiquette is expected to be (obviously t-shirts and flip flops are a no-go)- as in, business casual? Full suit? 'Black tie event' regalia? Also, any advice as to what I should do, not do, and general info I should be aware of would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
