Special Coverage Of The Inauguration of Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
The ASO on GPB
GPB is thrilled to present highlights from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra archives. The recording engineers and producers behind our regular Atlanta Symphony concert recordings combed through the vaults to curate a special collection of memorable evenings past, to run now through February on The ASO on GPB.
November kicks off with a Robert Shaw festival, December’s performances celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of Beethoven, and the final two months offer a mix of conductors past and present. Join Sarah Zaslaw for this trip down memory lane: exceptional concerts from across the decades, from 1975 to 2008, all captured live in Atlanta’s Symphony Hall.
