  Atlanta Symphony Orchestra

  Beethoven Project: Symphonies 1 + 3

  When: Concert at 8:00 PM, meet at 7:30 PM outside Symphony Hall in the Galleria
  

  Location:  Symphony Hall, 1280 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30309

  Cost:  $20/ticket with payment by check or cash in the exact amount on the night of the concert. Make checks payable to Paul Hinson. A symphony reservation is an irrevocable obligation by the member to pay for the reserved tickets. Electronic transfers and payments (Zelle, cash app, etc.) are NOT accepted. 

  Reservations: Please register by clicking on the "Register" button below. The deadline for registration for this event is Sunday evening, January 19. Members will meet Paul Hinson in the Galleria/lobby of Symphony Hall at 7:30 PM the evening of the performance to exchange their checks for their tickets.

  Event Details: Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann returns to kick off the first concert of the Beethoven Project, offering a feast of masterworks exploring Beethoven’s landmark journey through the symphonic form. Starting with the First Symphony, we meet the composer as he enters a more public phase of his career, venturing into the concert hall with a symphony—the kind of piece that defined (and was defined by) his teacher, Haydn. But already, Beethoven is up to his usual tricks. He's bending the rules with this piquant production. By the Third Symphony, he's his own man, confident in a vision that would usher in the Romantic age. The Third Symphony subtitled "Eroica"—heroic—is a revelation and a revolution. It’s more expansive and dramatic, mixing humor, grandeur, sorrow and exuberance. Music will never be the same.

  Additional Information: Seats are truly great $55 seats, middle orchestra right, which are provided to us for $20 per seat through the ASO’s community ticketing program. When you register for an ASO event, a ticket is purchased in your name, and you are required to reimburse Paul Hinson for the $20/ticket cost of your ticket(s) the evening of the performance. Cash is accepted in the exact amount.

  January Book Selection

  The Beautiful Room Is Empty

  by Edmund White
  

  When: 3 PM on the last Wednesday of each month

  Where: We meet via Zoom.  Login information will be included in your registration confirmation email.

  About the book: From the Amazon description...

  When the narrator of White's poised yet scalding autobiographical novel first embarks on his sexual odyssey, it is the 1950s, and America is "a big gray country of families on drowsy holiday." That country has no room for a scholarly teenager with guilty but insatiable stirrings toward other men. Moving from a Midwestern college to the Stonewall Tavern on the night of the first gay uprising--and populated by eloquent queens, butch poseurs, and a fearfully incompetent shrink--The Beautiful Room is Empty conflates the acts of coming out and coming of age.

  Atlanta Symphony Orchestra

  Beethoven Project: Symphonies 2 + 5

  When: Concert at 8:00 PM, meet at 7:30 PM outside Symphony Hall in the Galleria
  

  Location:  Symphony Hall, 1280 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30309

  Cost:  $20/ticket with payment by check or cash in the exact amount on the night of the concert. Make checks payable to Paul Hinson. A symphony reservation is an irrevocable obligation by the member to pay for the reserved tickets. Electronic transfers and payments (Zelle, cash app, etc.) are NOT accepted.

  Event Details: It's a Beethoven Festival! This time, Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann and the acclaimed Atlanta Symphony Orchestra show opposite sides of this watershed composer: Beethoven the tempest and Beethoven the humorist. It's hard to argue with the enduring popularity of the stormy Fifth Symphony; it grabs you by the collar and keeps you riveted from start to finish. But the same composer, that scowling, hotheaded genius portrayed in 19th-century paintings, imbued his Second Symphony with genial wit and good cheer. Savor the lesser-known Second Symphony side by side with the rocket-fueled Fifth. And leave the concert hall with a tune in your heart.

  Additional Information: Seats are truly great $55 seats, middle orchestra right, which are provided to us for $20 per seat through the ASO’s community ticketing program.

  About the book: From the Amazon description...

  Suddenly jobless and single after a devastating layoff and a breakup with his cheating ex, advertising copywriter Dominick Gibson flees his life in Hell's Kitchen to try and get back on track in his hometown of Detroit. He’s got one objective ― exit the shallow dating pool ASAP and get married by thirty-five ― and the deadline’s approaching fast.

  Meanwhile, Dom's best friend, Troy Clements, an idealistic teacher who never left Michigan, finds himself at odds with all the men in his life: a troubled boyfriend he's desperate to hold onto, a perpetually dissatisfied father, and his other friend, Remy Patton. Remy, a rags-to-riches real estate agent known as “Mr. Detroit,” has his own problems ― namely choosing between making it work with a long-distance lover or settling for a local Mr. Right Now who’s not quite Mr. Right. And when a high-stakes real estate deal threatens to blow up his friendship with Troy, the three men have to figure out how to navigate the pitfalls of friendship and a city that seems to be changing overnight.

  Full of unforgettable characters, Boys Come First is about the trials and tribulations of real friendship, but also about the highlights and hiccups ―late nights at the wine bar, awkward Grindr hookups, workplace microaggressions, situationships, frenemies, family drama, and of course, the group chat ― that define Black, gay, millennial life in today’s Detroit.

  Atlanta Symphony Orchestra

  Beethoven Project: Symphonies 6 + 8

  When: Concert at 8:00 PM, meet at 7:30 PM outside Symphony Hall in the Galleria
  

  Location:  Symphony Hall, 1280 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30309

  Cost:  $20/ticket with payment by check or cash in the exact amount on the night of the concert.

  Event Details: Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra continue the Beethoven Project, this time headlining the piece that found its way into The Simpsons and Walt Disney's 1940 animated classic Fantasia. Beethoven’s ever-popular "Pastoral" Symphony grows out of the composer's daily walks through an Austrian forest, calling forth rustic folk song and Nature’s primordial churn through the murmuring textures of a symphony orchestra. Maestro Stutzmann pairs the "Pastoral" with a piece that further extends Beethoven's norm-shattering gift for invention and impish charm—the jocular Eighth Symphony.

  Additional Information: Seats are truly great $55 seats, middle orchestra right, which are provided to us for $20 per seat through the ASO’s community ticketing program.

  ALLIANCE THEATRE PRODUCTION OF BUST
  

  Event Details: It’s not only hell that breaks loose in this ground-breaking, form-defying, laugh-out-loud new drama from Pulitzer-Prize finalist playwright Zora Howard. Retta and Reggie are enjoying their usual evening on the porch when a longtime neighbor is pulled over by the police just before turning into his driveway. Everything goes as expected—until the unexpected happens. Humor, spectacle, and surrealism converge in this gripping interrogation of what it costs to be Black and free. Lileana Blain-Cruz, a “master of curating chaos” (The New York Times), directs.

  ALLIANCE THEATRE PRODUCTION OF MILLIONS
  

  Event Details: A million dollars is a windfall. A family is a fortune. Inspired by Frank Cottrell Boyce’s beloved novel and film, MILLIONS is a hilarious and heartwarming new musical about two brothers, their newly-widowed father, a train robber, and (possibly) a miracle.
  
  Damien and Anthony are dealing with the loss of their mother in very different ways. So, when a duffel bag of cash falls out of the sky, Damien thinks it’s a miracle from his mom, sent to test their goodness. But Anthony knows the truth. 
  
  Created by a team of Tony Award winners, MILLIONS is an imaginative and unpredictable adventure with a book by Bob Martin (The Drowsy Chaperone, The Prom) and an extraordinary score by Adam Guettel (Floyd Collins, The Light in the Piazza, Days of Wine and Roses), with direction by Bartlett Sher (South Pacific, Fiddler on the Roof, To Kill a Mockingbird). With soaring music and a story full of surprises, MILLIONS is a modern-day fable that will enchant and entertain the entire family.
