Wagner + Brahms · Atlanta · Oct 8, 2026

Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann tees up a season-long homage to the spirited delights of Johannes Brahms. Starting with an audience favorite, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra welcomes the young violin hotshot Johan Dalene, a "tantalizing talent," for Brahms's feverishly impassioned Violin Concerto. After intermission, the Orchestra roars back to life with Brahms's thundering Symphony No. 1. Maestro Stutzmann opens the program with a pyrotechnic classic, the Overture to Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks.
