The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra's season goes out with a bang when guest conductor Peter Oundjian presents two orchestral heavyweights. Mahler described his uber-Romantic Seventh Symphony as three "night pieces" with a "bright-as-day" finale. Marshaling a mammoth orchestra, the Seventh overflows with velvety richness sprinkled with arresting intimacy before delivering a raucous, triumphal ending. The staggering piano virtuoso and Atlanta favorite Inon Barnatan returns for Shostakovich's snarky and rapid-fire Piano Concerto No. 1., a piece that delivers parody and humor with fistfuls of notes for the solo pianist and principal trumpet.
