Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann continues the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra's season-long exploration of works by Brahms with the enthralling Symphony No. 4, an explosive, Romantic colossus, dappled with flecks of sunshine and poetry. To make a perfect pairing of German Romantics, Maestro Stutzmann also presents Richard Wagner's majestic Prelude to Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, before turning to a symphony orchestra rarity: the luxurious love scene from Wagner's Die Walküre. To send your heart soaring, the Orchestra welcomes two rising stars of the opera house, the "lustrous, commanding soprano" (The New York Times) Felicia Moore and the heroic tenor Clay Hilley, praised by The Times for his "vocal heft, clarion sound, and stamina."
