Asher Fisch to Lead Atlanta Symphony in Works by Liszt, Rachmaninov and Strauss, 1/8-10

Acclaimed conductor Asher Fisch will return to Atlanta Symphony Hall to lead the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (ASO) in works by Liszt, Rachmaninov and Strauss. The performances will take place January 8, 2015, at 8:00 p.m., January 9, 2015 at 6:30 p.m. and January 10, 2015 at 7:30 p.m. in Atlanta Symphony Hall at the Woodruff Arts Center.

Russian piano virtuoso Daniil Trifonov will make his ASO debut with these concerts, performing Rachmaninov's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini -- an incredibly demanding work based on the last of composer Niccol? Paganini's 24 Caprices for Solo Violin.

On Friday, January 9, 2015, Mr. Fisch will lead the ASO in an abbreviated version of the subscription weekend's performances as part of the Orchestra's premiere "First Friday" concert series of 2014-15. The concert will feature Rachmaninov's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and Strauss' Ein Heldenleben.

These concerts begin at 6:30 p.m. and last approximately one hour without intermission. All tickets are $25. Additional details are available at aso.org. Single tickets for this performance (excluding the "First Friday" performance) are $24-$99. More details are available at aso.org.
