Each Thursday and Sunday evening we whisk you off to Symphony Hall to hear the Grammy-winning Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus and guests perform before rapt audiences.
Major works this season are Beethoven’s Ninth, Bach’s St. Matthew Passion and John Adams’ A Flowering Tree.
Soloists include Joshua Bell, Christine Brewer, Andre Watts, Kelley O’Connor, Gil Shaham, Leila Josefowicz, Yuja Wang, Kirill Gerstein and concertmaster David Coucheron.
In behind-the-scenes chats, Terrence Wilson describes winning his first competition after scoliosis surgery, conductors explore the music they love, and James Ehnes says you can’t judge a Strad in a hotel room.
New shows air March to August 2012 with encores through February 2013.
Join host Sarah Zaslaw for The ASO on GPB.
