Inon Barnatan Replaces Marc-André Hamelin as Guest Pianist with ASO, 5/2-5

Pianist Inon Barnatan will replace the previously scheduled Marc-André Hamelin for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra concerts May 2 and 4, at 8:00 p.m. and May 5, 2013, at 3:00 p.m. in Atlanta Symphony Hall at the Woodruff Arts Center. Mr. Hamelin is unable to travel due to illness.

The weekend's concert program will remain unchanged and Mr. Barnatan will make his Atlanta Symphony debut performing Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4 under guest conductor Hugh Wolff. Mr. Wolff will also lead the Orchestra in the ASO premiere of Dances from Thomas Adès's Powder Her Face and Schumann's Symphony No. 1, "Spring" - an ode to Schumann's marriage to the love of his life.

Pianist Inon Barnatan is widely recognized for refined, communicative, insightful playing that combines an extraordinary depth of musicianship and an impeccable, virtuosic technique.
