Lineup of artists for Performing Arts Center’s 2003-04 season is announced

Timothy A. Bartholow, director of the Office of Performing Arts, has announced the roster of artists for the Performing Arts Center’s 2003-2004 season. The upcoming season will include 29 performances in seven series.
“I am particularly proud to open our season in September with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, which was honored with three Grammy Awards earlier this year,” says Bartholow. “Music Director Robert Spano will conduct the ASO in two giants of the orchestral repertoire: Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto and Mahler’s Fifth Symphony.”
The season will also include an April appearance by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra under guest conductor James DePreist, as well as a concert version of Verdi’s La Traviata by the Moscow State Radio Orchestra and Chorus with principal singers from the Bolshoi Opera and an appearance by the renowned Juilliard String Quartet. The always-popular Vienna Choir Boys return as does pianist André Watts.
Georgia’s own Atlanta Ballet is back and the Moscow Festival Ballet presents the full-length ballet Cinderella. They are joined on the dance series by Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, an all-male comic ballet company.
The current season proved to be another year of record-breaking success for the Performing Arts Center, which set subscription sales records for the Showtime series and the Dance Festival. The Performing Arts Center continues to record concerts for broadcast on National Public Radio’s PerformanceToday, and to expand its educational programs, offering master classes and lecture/demonstrations to public school students throughout Georgia.
Subscriptions to the 2003-2004 season are on sale now at 542-4400. Subscribers save off single ticket prices and are entitled to flexible exchange privileges.
