Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Roderick Cox Conducts Barber Rachmaninoff at Atlanta Symphony Hall

Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Roderick Cox Conducts Barber Rachmaninoff

Atlanta Symphony Orchestra welcomes back Georgia's own Roderick Cox for a rousing program of Barber, John Adams and Rachmaninoff. Barber's Adagio for Strings is a moving work characterized by its slow, mournful melodies and rich, sorrowful harmonies. Following on from that is John Adams' Doctor Atomic Symphony, an orchestral adaptation of his 2005 opera set during the USA's first atomic tests in 1945. The program closes with Rachmaninoff's rich final work, Symphonic Dances.

Boney James at Stockbridge Amphitheater

Boney James

In 2009, Billboard Magazine named Boney James the Jazz Musician of the Decade and the tremendously talented saxophonist certainly lives up to that moniker. While seen as a forerunner of the smooth jazz movement, Boney's style of playing combines pop and RnB and his style is often seen as grittier and more textured than the easy-listening genre.
