    April Book Selection

    The Whale: A Love Story

    by Mark Beauregard

    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...

    In the summer of 1850, Herman Melville finds himself hounded by creditors and afraid his writing career might be coming to an end—his last three novels have been commercial failures and the critics have turned against him. In despair, Melville takes his family for a vacation to his cousin’s farm in the Berkshires, where he meets Nathaniel Hawthorne at a picnic—and his life turns upside down.

    The Whale chronicles the fervent love affair that grows out of that serendipitous afternoon. Already in debt, Melville recklessly borrows money to purchase a local farm in order to remain near Hawthorne, his newfound muse. The two develop a deep connection marked by tensions and estrangements, and feelings both shared and suppressed.

    Melville dedicated Moby-Dick to Hawthorne, and Mark Beauregard’s novel fills in the story behind that dedication with historical accuracy and exquisite emotional precision, reflecting his nuanced reading of the real letters and journals of Melville, Hawthorne, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and others. An exuberant tale of longing and passion, The Whale captures not only a transformative relationship—long the subject of speculation—between two of our most enduring authors, but also their exhilarating moment in history, when a community of high-spirited and ambitious writers was creating truly American literature for the first time.

    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.

    About the book: From the Amazon description...

    What if you fell in love with your best friend, what would you do?
    For many, it’s the story of our lives; at least, it is for Julien. Three years of a high school friendship have left a mark on him forever. When this love suddenly reappears in his life 20 years later, are they ready this time to embrace their destiny?

    "We used to be young" invites you to relive the 2000s, through a story of self-reflection and self-discovery, balanced between moments of joy and deep sorrows. But above all, a romance that, for the first time, will offer you a new ending to your own story. What if Julien were you?

    A young adult romance that will rekindle your own personal story and your most beautiful memories.

    Atlanta Symphony Orchestra

    An American in Paris

    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, May 25. 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: Audience favorite Kirill Gerstein returns to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. "A peerless performer with so much to express" (The Guardian), Gerstein plays Ravel's Piano Concerto for the Left Hand, a piquant piece with jazzy underpinnings. The popular guest conductor Stéphane Denève keeps with the French theme throughout with Ibert’s lighthearted Escales, "Ports of Call," a trio of musical postcards from a trip abroad. The ASO re-enacts The Creation of the World with an extra shot of French whimsy, courtesy of Darius Milhaud, and ends on a high with Gershwin's irresistible love letter to the French capital, An American in Paris.

    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. Electronic transfers and payments (Zelle, cash app, etc.) are NOT accepted. 

    Registrations can be canceled ONLY 5 days or more before the event.  (To cancel a reservation, go to your profile and select  "My event registrations.") If due to unforeseen circumstances you are not able to use your ticket, you must still reimburse Paul for the purchase price of your tickets.   

    Parking:  Free parking is available in the Ansley Park neighborhood along 15th street on weeknights—you’ll see neighborhood parking decal sticker requirements on parking signs but most of those signs will indicate that neighborhood stickers are not required weekday evenings before 10PM. Parking is also available in the arts center garage, or in any of several other garages in the area such as the Promenade.  See this link for information on parking. https://www.woodruffcenter.org/parking-directions/

    Atlanta Symphony Orchestra

    Oundjian Conducts Mahler Symphony No. 7

    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: The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra's season goes out with a bang when guest conductor Peter Oundjian presents two orchestral heavyweights. Mahler described his uber-Romantic Seventh Symphony as three "night pieces" with a "bright-as-day" finale. Marshaling a mammoth orchestra, the Seventh overflows with velvety richness sprinkled with arresting intimacy before delivering a raucous, triumphal ending. The staggering piano virtuoso and Atlanta favorite Inon Barnatan returns for Shostakovich's snarky and rapid-fire Piano Concerto No. 1., a piece that delivers parody and humor with fistfuls of notes for the solo pianist and principal trumpet.
