Group Leaders & Corporate Partners We are excited to present our 2018/19 season, the second in our twoyear celebration of the music and magic of Ludwig van Beethoven and Leonard Bernstein. We will continue to celebrate these musical icons with more incredible performances, guest artists, and a few surprises along the way. Woven into the season are perennial favorites: Strauss s Also sprach Zarathustra, Beethoven s Fifth Symphony and Stravinsky s The Firebird Suite, as well as passionate masterpieces from Ravel, Tchaikovsky, Berlioz, Debussy, and the defining work of the romantic era, Beethoven s almighty Ninth, featuring the ASO Chorus. Acclaimed pianist Lang Lang will also return to Symphony Hall for a one-night-only engagement. The Orchestra will continue to delight audiences with performances from the popular Coca-Cola Holiday Concert Series, Family Concert Series, Movies in Concert with the ASO and Atlanta Symphony Hall LIVE. As a valued Atlanta Symphony Orchestra partner, you may also receive fantastic benefits including generous discounts on select concerts, no-deposit reservations and group amenities.
