About Us

Welcome from ASO President and CEO Allison Vulgamore

Coming home to the Woodruff Arts Center and to our loyal audience has your Atlanta Symphony Orchestra soaring! It is a sheer joy to reunite with you, the longtime champions of the ASO.

Your dare-to-be-great support is this Orchestra’s raison d’être. As a result, we reach for the stars in our repertoire and artists each season; we create bold breakthroughs in the concert format including our “theatre of a concert” experience you will next see in John Adams’s spectacular opera Doctor Atomic in November; and we collaborate and partner with other innovators from composers and visual artists to record companies.

Robert Spano, Musical America’s 2008 Conductor of the Year, and celebrated friend Emanuel Ax open the 2008-09 season with a program of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms. “What better way to start off the season,” Robert says, “than with the music of these three giants whose names virtually define symphonic music. Hearing their music side by side will illuminate the greatness they have in common and the uniqueness that distinguishes each of their musical personalities. A grand portal into a season full of tremendous music!”
