Georgia Tech Symphony Orchestra opens the 25-26 season tomorrow!

Our first concert, Broken Crystal, features works by Ke-Chia Chen, Avner Dorman, and Johannes Brahms. Two past GTSO musicians, Hannah Lee, violin, and Benjamin Borthwick, violoncello, will be joining us as soloists on the first movement of Brahms’s Double Concerto.

This concert will explore different ranges of emotion invoked by music. From Broken Crystal’s intense moments, to the upbeat rhythm in Miriam Danced by the Red Sea, and finally closing with two of Brahms’s finest orchestral works.

As usual, we will designate the back of Ferst Center as dedicated study spaces for students and audience wishing to do work while enjoying our music. We ask those wishing to utilize this space to be mindful of other audience members by keeping the typing and other distractions to a minimum. A post-concert reception, sponsored by Orchestra Club and GT SGA, will follow after the concert with light snacks and refreshment.

Hope to see you there!
