“The Alpharetta Symphony will be back on stage in November to present a dynamic journey through the expressive range of Romantic music, beginning with the theatrical flair of Louis Joseph Ferdinand Hérold’s Zampa Overture, moving into the virtuosic fireworks of Franz Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in E flat Major featuring Alex Wasserman on piano, and concluding with the lyrical optimism of Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8 in G Major.”

“There’s something timeless about the world of James Bond that continues to captivate me, movie after movie. For me, it all started with Goldfinger. I still remember the first time I watched it on a VHS tape. The thrilling opening sequence, the unforgettable theme song, and that iconic scene with the laser made such a lasting impression on me almost thirty years ago. It was like stepping into a world of style, danger, and excitement I had never experienced before. From that moment on, I was hooked.”

“As I reflect on my inaugural year as Music Director of the Alpharetta Symphony, I am filled with immense gratitude and joy for the musical journey we’ve experienced together. From August through May, each concert presented unique opportunities to explore the rich, varied world of orchestral music. With seven performances under our belt, this season has been a vibrant celebration of artistry, community, and shared passion.”
