If you're a classical music buff, you're probably familiar with the fact that the Atlanta Symphony is one of the world's top tier symphony orchestras. With concerts in Woodruff Arts Center in mid-town nearly every Thursday, Friday or Saturday night, you certainly won't be disappointed by the quality of the music or the selections performed. With a repertoire that ranges from Beethoven to Holst to Scriabin and everything in between, the symphony's technical proficiency is second only to their musicianship. Tickets are reasonably priced, starting at $19 and if you're a student with a current ID, you can get in on their "Student Rush" program for about $12-14 half hour before the concert begins. With a new music director this season, the Symphony is again packing the hall and bringing some of the biggest names in classical music to Atlanta. The buzz certainly surrounds this ensemble. If you can arrive early, in the lobby of Symphony Hall you'll find bars serving wine and beer as well as a gift shop that deals in the Symphony's CDs. If you're unable to make it for a concert, drop into your music store and pick up their recording of your favorite classical piece; you won't be disappointed.
