The popular Australian conductor Nicholas Carter leads the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in Haydn's "Miracle" Symphony, so named not only for its surprising and catchy tunes but for a near disaster at its premiere: An enormous chandelier crashed to the floor—no one was hurt. The concert includes another miracle, the brilliant and joyous Violin Concerto No. 3 by the 19-year-old Mozart. The Orchestra welcomes the debut of rising star violinist Geneva Lewis. The evening takes a left turn during the second half to lean into the volcanic power of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra for the passionate and alluring First Symphony by William Walton.
