For this concert, we literally pull out all the stops! The Alpharetta Symphony Orchestra will join forces with the magnificent organ at Alpharetta Methodist, to show you what the instrument was made to do. Saint-Saëns’ showstopper piece, his aptly named Organ Symphony, creates a musical tapestry woven to equally shine the spotlight on the orchestra and the organ. You’ll hear the organ, a Sunday morning staple, in a brand new and electrifying way.

Internationally acclaimed musician and violinist with New York City’s famed Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, Shem Guibbory, joins the Alpharetta Symphony Youth Orchestra for an afternoon of music-making. Mr. Guibbory will start with an interactive performance of Bach’s stunningly beautiful and complex Chaconne for solo violin. Then, the world-class musician will coach the ASYO through a performance of Tchaikovsky’s “Swan Lake.” Musicians and non-musicians alike are sure to learn and enjoy!
