These 3 concerts will welcome back the ASO Chorus to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra stage, led by guest conductor Nathalie Stutzmann. They will deliver one of the most powerful and awe-inspiring works ever written, Mozart's Requiem mass. Left unfinished at the time of his death in 1791, the Requiem was completed by Franz Xaver Süssmayr from notes Mozart had left throughout the piece, maintaining an air of mystery ever since.
Nathalie Stutzmann will join the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra as Music Director at the start of the 2022/23 season, becoming only the second woman in history to lead a major American orchestra after Marin Alsop. As a guest conductor, Nathalie will begin the season 21/ 22 with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic and the Philadelphia Orchestra.
Stutzmann is considered one of the most outstanding musical personalities of our time. Charismatic musicianship, combined with unique rigour, energy and fantasy, characterise her style. A rich variety of strands form the core of her repertoire: Central European and Russian romanticism is a strong focus — ranging from Beethoven, Schumann, Brahms and Dvorak through to the larger symphonic forces of Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Mahler, Bruckner and Strauss — as well as French 19th century repertoire and impressionism. Highlights from her partnership with the Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra include acclaimed performances of Bruckner’s Symphony No. 7, Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6 and a complete cycle of Beethoven’s symphonies.
Also one of today’s most esteemed contraltos, she has done more than 80 recordings and received the most prestigious awards. Her newest album released in January 2021, Contralto, was awarded of Scherzo’s ‘Exceptional’ seal, Opera Magazine’s Diamant d’Or and radio RTL’s Classique d’Or. She is an exclusive recording artist of Warner Classics/Erato.
Nathalie was named “Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur”, France’s highest honor, and “Commandeur dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres” by the French government.
ASO is offering a 20% discount to attendees of the Festival for the 3pm concert on March 20th.
