Handel’s Messiah

Atlanta Symphony Hall

Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann presents one of the great masterpieces of all time: J. S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion—a sacred oratorio composed for Good Friday, 1727. The St. Matthew Passion has been a hallmark of Maestro Stutzmann’s career, first as a celebrated contralto and now as a conductor. This week she joins the world-renowned Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in welcoming an international lineup of vocal soloists and the Spivey Hall Children’s Choir for what promises to be a season highlight.

Nathalie Stutzmann Conducts St. Matthew Passion

Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann leads a journey into 19th-century Vienna, where Napoleon's army laid siege to a vibrant city of beer gardens, coffee houses, and towering Baroque buildings. Amid the tumult, a musical genius took quill in hand to compose music of timeless beauty. Hear Franz Schubert's enchanting Ballet Music No. 2 from his score Rosamunde. Then, the renowned Atlanta Symphony Chamber Chorus sings his sublime Mass No. 2. Maestro Stutzmann and the Orchestra finish on a high with Schubert's rousing "Great" Symphony in C Major.
