    Atlanta Symphony Orchestra

    Brahms + Wagner 

    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

    PLEASE NOTE that for this concert we are limited to only 15 tickets!

    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, October 4. 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: 19th-century folk called them rivals, pitting the Romani-flavored, incomparably crafted works of Johannes Brahms against the freewheeling passion and Teutonic bombast of Richard Wagner. To our ears, they just sound Romantic. But what's more Romantic than a good rivalry?

    Immerse yourself in the lush and richly hued sounds of Brahms and Wagner when Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann cues the next installment in Brahms Revealed. The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra injects explosive energy into Brahms' tumultuous Third Symphony, passing through a wistful allegretto to a blazing finale. Stutzmann contrasts the Brahms with the Romantic opulence of Richard Wagner, with excerpts from three operas, including the ecstatic Prelude and "Liebestod" from Tristan und Isolde.

    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.") 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. 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.

    Questions: Contact Paul Hinson at pwhinson@mac.com or 404-583-4445.

    Event Details, from the program It's known as "the great American opera." Since 1935, Porgy and Bess has rippled through American culture in the hands of artists such as Maya Angelou, Miles Davis, Janis Joplin, and Sublime. And it's no surprise — no one could write a tune like George Gershwin. Not quite jazz and not quite classical, the beguiling sounds of Porgy, plus the watershed Rhapsody in Blue, render the spirit of New York City into irresistible, toe-tapping fun.

    After intermission, the orchestra drops into overdrive for Carl Nielsen's indomitable Fourth Symphony, nicknamed The Inextinguishable. The Orchestra welcomes the debuts of Estonian conductor Kristiina Poska and jazz pianist Sullivan Fortner.

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

    About the book: From the Amazon description... 

    Shaw and North are best friends, private detectives, and in danger of losing their agency. A single bad case, followed by crippling lawsuits, has put them on the brink of closing shop. Until, that is, a client walks into their Benton Park office.

    Matty Fennmore is young, blond, and beautiful, and he’s in danger. When he asks for Shaw and North’s help foiling a blackmail scheme, the detectives are quick to accept.

    The conspiracy surrounding Matty runs deeper than Shaw and North expect. As they dig into the identity of Matty’s blackmailer, they are caught in a web that touches politicians, the local LGBT community, and the city’s police.

    An attack on Matty drives home the rising stakes of the case, and Shaw and North must race to find the blackmailer before he can silence Matty. But a budding romance lays bare long-buried feelings between Shaw and North, and as their relationship splinters, solving the case may come at the cost of their friendship.

    Atlanta Symphony Orchestra

    Bach + Brahms 

    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: $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, November 1. 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, from the programBrahms Revealed, the season-long Brahms festival, continues with a psychological profile of the composer. Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann kicks it off with a splendorous orchestral suite by Brahms’s hero, Johann Sebastian Bach. She follows the suite with something of a joke. When the officials at the University of Breslau awarded Brahms an honorary degree, they hoped that he would write them a symphony. Ever bullheaded and often a tease, Brahms instead gave them the Academic Festival Overture, a rollicking piece packed with student drinking songs.

    In 1881, Brahms poured that same free spirit into his Piano Concerto No. 2. It’s an absolute charmer for audiences, but a bear for the pianist. A concerto with the grandeur of a symphony, it is athletic, turbulent, tender, and fiery, and a perfect showcase for the talents of pianist and ASO Artist-in-Residence, Anna Geniushene.

    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.") 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. 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.

    November Book Selection

    The Guncle Abroad

    by Steven Rowley

    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... 

    Patrick O’Hara is back. It’s been five years since his summer as his niece Maisie and nephew Grant’s caretaker after their mother’s passing. The kids are back in Connecticut with their dad, and Patrick has relocated to New York to remain close by and relaunch his dormant acting career. After the run of his second successful sit-com comes to a close, Patrick feels on top of the world... professionally. But some things have had to take a back seat. Looking down both barrels at fifty, Patrick is single again after breaking things off with Emory. But at least he has a family to lean on. Until that family needs to again lean on him.

    When Patrick's brother, Greg, announces he’s getting remarried in Italy, Maisie and Grant are not thrilled. Patrick feels drawn to take the two back under his wing. As they travel through Europe on their way to the wedding, Patrick tries his best to help them understand love, much as he once helped them comprehend grief. But when they arrive in Italy, Patrick is overextended managing a groom with cold feet; his sister, Clara, flirting with guests left and right; a growing rivalry with the kids’ charming soon-to-be-launt (lesbian aunt), and two moody young teens trying to adjust to a new normal, all culminating in a disastrous rehearsal dinner.

    Can Patrick save the day? Will teaching the kids about love help him repair his own love life? Can the change of scenery help Patrick come to terms with finally growing up?

    Gracing the work with his signature blend of humor and heart, Steven Rowley charms with a beloved story about the complicated bonds of family, love, and what it takes to rediscover yourself, even at the ripe age of fifty.
