The recently embattled Atlanta Symphony Orchestra will be the act on offer at Manhattan's Carnegie Hall come Saturday, Oct. 27 at 7:30 p.m. in the Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage.
The performers of the night will be conductor and music director Robert Spano and of course the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. They will be joined by the vocal styling of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus with Norman Mackenzie guiding them as the director of choruses. With singers John Holiday a countertenor and baritone Brett Polegato also forming part of the performing act.
This mass of musicians will be performing on the night the work of Aaron Copland namely a piece entitled "Appalachian Spring."The composition itself is based on a ballet and is about an early 19th century young couple starting their lives together in the hills of Pennsylvania.
Also included in the program is Leonard Bernstein's "Chichester Pslams," a musician who is strongly linked with the New York Philharmonic in the past.
The final musical offering on the night belongs to William Walton who will offer up his "Belshazzar's Feast," a composition that originated as a BBC commission. This woks depicts an episode from the Bible's "Book of Daniel,"
The ensemble earlier this year was embroiled in a controversial situation that saw members of the orchestra tangling with their board over contractual issues, the result that led to the group being locked out of their own playing facility and then having to see a significant amount of their yearly incomes slashed due to their board trying to cut cost.
