About this event
This concert is part of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra's Delta Classical Series 4 for the 2026/27 season and is presented within the "American Panorama: Voices of a Nation at 250" initiative, marking the United States semiquincentennial. The program pairs two works by George Gershwin with Carl Nielsen's Fourth Symphony, contrasting American jazz-influenced idioms with European late-Romantic orchestral power. It marks the ASO debuts of Estonian conductor Kristiina Poska and GRAMMY-winning jazz pianist Sullivan Fortner. The UGA Presents performance on October 23 is sponsored by Sandy Strother Hudson and Cecil C. Hudson. Subscriptions for the Delta Classical Series 4 offer savings over single tickets, and UGA Presents offers a "Pick 3 or More" discount.
