    February Book Selection

    Lie With Me

    by Phillippe Besson

    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...

    Just outside a hotel in Bordeaux, Philippe chances upon a young man who bears a striking resemblance to his first love. What follows is a look back at the relationship he’s never forgotten, a hidden affair with a gorgeous boy named Thomas during their last year of high school. Without ever acknowledging they know each other in the halls, they steal time to meet in secret, carrying on a passionate, world-altering affair.

    Dazzlingly rendered in English by Ringwald in her first-ever translation, Besson’s powerfully moving coming-of-age story captures the eroticism and tenderness of first love—and the heartbreaking passage of time.

    Cost: $22/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, February 22. 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: Vast Scandinavian snowfields and impenetrable pine forests meet a blazing musical spirit in Jean Sibelius's alluring Symphony No. 5. British maestro Nicholas Collon, chief conductor of the Finnish Radio Symphony, makes his Atlanta Symphony Orchestra debut, along with the young cello firebrand Kian Soltani. Witness Soltani's superhuman artistry as he tackles Lutosławski's blisteringly virtuosic Cello Concerto. The concert opens with the ASO debut of Outi Tarkianien's mystical symphonic poem The Ring of Fire and Love. 

    Additional Information: Seats are truly great $55 seats, middle orchestra right, which are provided to us for $22 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 $22/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.")

    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. However when parking in that area be advised that occasionally cars are ticketed right after 10PM in the neighborhood to the east of the Arts Center. Some members elect to continue to park there and take that risk. Paid 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 more information on parking.

    About the book: From the Amazon description...

    Seventeen-year-old Victor Callahan holds a secret as ancient as the shadows.

    Employed as a night porter in a quiet Irish nursing home, the teenager watches over a group of men he once knew a long time ago. Victor has orchestrated their reunion for a final farewell, a goodbye to those whose lives have shaped him through the years.

    But can he keep his secret from Lakeshore Manor's oldest resident, James O'Carroll?

    As he cares for these remnants of his past, memories of a bygone era haunt him - of wild adventures on the rugged Irish coast, of forbidden love hidden beneath the threat of eternal night, and of a shipwreck that changes everything...
