Atlanta Symphony Orchestra
Jonathon Heyward, conductor
Yeol Eum Son, piano
“Jonathon Heyward swept onto the stage…bringing with him the mega-wattage charisma of a symphonic conductor in meteoric ascent.”—Post and Courier
The ASO returns to Athens with two dynamic artists making their UGA Presents debuts! Young conducting sensation Jonathon Heyward—newly appointed music director of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra—appears with Korean virtuoso Yeol Eum Son, a pianist with “power and passion, fireworks and drama aplenty” (Limelight). Together, they’ll charm us with the sassy Piano Concerto written by the 25-year-old Benjamin Britten. On the second half of the program, Heyward leads the orchestra in Rachmaninov’s lush and timeless Symphony No. 2.
