About Nathalie Stutzmann and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra

Nathalie Stutzmann is one of the most celebrated conductors working in classical music today. A former world-class contralto who transitioned into conducting with extraordinary success, Stutzmann brings a musician's deep emotional intelligence to every score she leads. Since becoming Music Director of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in 2021, she has transformed the ASO into one of the most exciting and dynamic orchestras in North America, earning widespread critical acclaim and reigniting passionate audience engagement across Atlanta.

Her relationship with Mahler's music is profound and well-documented. Stutzmann approaches these vast symphonic landscapes with clarity of vision, structural precision, and a rare gift for drawing out the full emotional arc of a piece. The Second Symphony — nicknamed the "Resurrection" — is arguably Mahler's most sweeping and spiritually ambitious work. Scored for a large orchestra, two vocal soloists, and a full chorus, it builds across five movements from a funeral march to a triumphant, life-affirming finale that leaves audiences breathless.

The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra itself is a world-class ensemble with a history of Grammy Award-winning recordings and decades of artistic excellence. Under Stutzmann's leadership, the ASO has elevated its programming and performance standards to new heights. Stutzmann + Mahler's Second Symphony at Atlanta Symphony Hall represents the kind of defining, career-peak collaboration that marks a generation of orchestral music-making.
