Program includes Beethoven's Symphony No. 8 and Symphony No. 6 'Pastoral'. Conducted by Nathalie Stutzmann

Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra continue the Beethoven Project, this time headlining the piece that found its way into The Simpsons and Walt Disney's 1940 animated classic Fantasia. Beethoven’s ever-popular "Pastoral" Symphony grows out of the composer's daily walks through an Austrian forest, calling forth rustic folk song and Nature’s primordial churn through the murmuring textures of a symphony orchestra. Maestro Stutzmann pairs the "Pastoral" with a piece that further extends Beethoven's norm-shattering gift for invention and impish charm—the jocular Eighth Symphony.
