It’s hard to imagine a better age for this epic fantasy than 2024. From Game of Thrones to Minecraft to The Lord of the Rings, our world is hungry for the stuff that came out of Wagner’s original binge-watch.

After 43 years, 4 music directors, countless concerts, tours and recordings, Mark Yancich is taking his final bows as timpanist of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Mark joined the orchestra in 1981, succeeding his brother Paul who left to become timpanist of the Cleveland Orchestra. So for the first time in almost 50 years, there won’t be a Yancich behind the kettledrums at the back of the ASO. Prior to Robert Shaw hiring him, Mark was timpanist and principal percussion of orchestras in Maracaibo and Caracas, Venezuela. He can be heard on over 120 recordings with the Atlanta Symphony, including most of the great choral/orchestral repertoire with Shaw conducting. When asked about any outstanding memories, Mark said, “I’m simply going to miss being on stage playing the world’s greatest orchestral repertoire with some wonderful colleagues and doing it for the appreciative audiences here in Atlanta. I’ve been lucky to enjoy a golden age of growth and performance excellence with some fantastic musicians here in Atlanta. Like fine wine, these are memories I’ll savor and cherish. I can’t think of anything more personally or professionally satisfying than that!"

The HBCU AccessFest returns this September! This event connects high school and college students with the resources they need to succeed. Let the students in your life know they should save the date - September 21, 12-5p, at the Woodruff Arts Center. Link in bio.

👏What a warm welcome our chorus gave Robert Spano when he first came back on stage after a 2+ year absence 💙 Can't wait to see the end result of all of their hard work this coming weekend when they give the world premiere of Jonathan Leshnoff's oratorio The Sacrifice of Isaac. Concert info in our bio. #jonathanleshnoff #atlantamusic #symphony #asochorus

When the ASO premiered Tyshawn Sorey’s ‘Adagio (for Wadada Leo Smith)’ in March of 2023, we recorded it! Now that it’s won the Pulitzer Prize for music, it seemed like the right time to share the first few minutes with the world. Featuring Tim McAllister, saxophone. Stephen Mulligan, conductor.

📷 by @thecellosherpa: "Today at the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra our Music Director Laureate, Robert Spano returned for the first time since leaving 2 years ago! We surprised him with Happy Birthday! @atlantasymphony"

Wishing our dear Music Director all the best on her birthday, which just happens to be a week after her Carnegie Hall debut that was a smashing success!

Many thanks to our concertmaster David Coucheron and his sister Julie for saving the day on Thursday with an incredible, last-minute performance. Just when it was looking like we were going to have to cancel the pre-concert chamber music performance due to a musician's illness, David and Julie stepped up to offer up exquisite performances of violin sonatas by Beethoven and Grieg. Perhaps only those who have played together since childhood could have pulled off this feat?! The plan for tonight is to have the originally scheduled performance of Brahms' String Quintet No. 2 in G Major, which is free and open to the public at 6:45 pm. Our musicians continually impress with their generosity in performing pre-concert chamber music. Big thanks to Christina Smith, Principal Flute, for coordinating this incredible series. 📸 @randlines
