Atlanta, get ready for something truly extraordinary. The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra is set to deliver one of the most electrifying evenings in classical music when Jordan Conducts Symphonie fantastique takes over Atlanta Symphony Hall on April 16 and April 18, 2026. This is not your average night at the symphony — this is a full-throttle, emotionally charged musical event that will leave you breathless from the first note to the last thunderous crescendo.

A Program Built for the Bold

Hector Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique is one of the most dramatic, visionary, and flat-out thrilling works in the entire orchestral canon. Written in 1830, this five-movement masterpiece is essentially a musical fever dream — a wild, passionate, and at times terrifying journey through obsessive love, opium-induced hallucinations, and a march to the guillotine. When the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra gets its hands on this beast of a composition, you can expect nothing short of a sonic spectacle.

Bertrand Chamayou: A World-Class Talent Comes to Atlanta

Joining the ASO for this landmark event is Bertrand Chamayou, one of the most celebrated pianists working today. Chamayou has earned rave reviews from concert halls across Europe and beyond, known for his breathtaking technique and deeply expressive interpretations. His appearance alongside the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra is a genuine coup for Atlanta's classical music scene — the kind of pairing that puts our city on the same stage as the world's greatest musical capitals.
