On two crisp fall evenings, the orchestra offered an opera program featuring internationally renowned opera stars, who were grateful for the work and thrilled to once again perform for a live hometown audience, and a Beatles tribute program. In “Lot A” of Ameris Bank Amphitheatre, serving up arrangements of Led Zeppelin and David Bowie songs, the multi-Grammy Award-winning Orchestra hosted a tailgate party for music starved Atlantans. Closer to home, the ASO is beaming Beethoven and Brahms to TVs and computer screens worldwide through their newly minted digital platform.
