Details
Popular music meets classical when guest conductor Ryan Bancroft makes his Atlanta Symphony Orchestra debut. The concert opens with the suite from Háry János, a 1926 Hungarian folk opera by Zoltán Kodály, a man who devoted his life to the preservation of Indigenous folk music. The kinetic young pianist Conrad Tao returns to Atlanta for Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G Major, and the program concludes with the Negro Folk Symphony, a piece infused with spirituals from the American South by Alabama native William Dawson.
