About this event
Join us on November 12 as we celebrate France Atlanta with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.
Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann presents two of the most potent voices in 19th-century French music: Hector Berlioz and Gabriel Fauré.
Feast your ears on a little Faust, once described as a "sort of opera," but filled with dazzling, Berlioz-style ear candy. The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra also performs his plush and atmospheric song cycle Les nuits d’été, featuring the "magnificent and majestic" (Forum Opera) mezzo-soprano Juliette Mey .
After intermission, Maestro Stutzmann brings out the internationally renowned ASO Chorus for Gabriel Fauré's hauntingly beautiful "lullaby of death," the Requiem Mass.
Recognized for her significant contribution to the arts, 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.
