ABOUT THE
ALPHARETTA SYMPHONY

Founded in 2014, the Alpharetta Symphony is a cornerstone in the musical landscape of Alpharetta and greater North Fulton county. Under the artistic leadership of Music Director Michael Giel, the Alpharetta Symphony performs multiple season concerts and several additional chamber music performances, offering music from the Baroque era to music by modern-day composers and popular music to its community. As an arts leader in Alpharetta and beyond, the Alpharetta Symphony regularly collaborates in performances with local arts organizations to work towards its mission of creating inspiring orchestral performances that connect through the universal language of music. 

In working towards the Alpharetta Symphony’s mission to provide engaging educational experiences for Alpharetta and greater North Fulton county, the Alpharetta Symphony Youth Orchestra (ASYO) was founded in 2018 and performs four concerts each season. Led by Youth Orchestra Conductor Kim Stocksdale, students ages 12-18 study and perform music from across centuries and continents. The ASYO has introduced a new ensemble, Prelude Strings, designed to support young beginners in string instruments. The Alpharetta Symphony also offers educational events for school-age children, recently including outdoor drum circles, instrument petting zoos, and sensory-friendly concerts paired with interactive workshops in music, dance, theater, and art.
