    Atlanta Symphony Orchestra

    Bach + Brahms 

    When: Concert at 8:00 PM, meet at 7:30 PM outside Symphony Hall in the Galleria

    Location: Symphony Hall, 1280 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30309

    Cost: $22/ticket with payment by check or cash in the exact amount on the night of the concert. Make checks payable to Paul Hinson. A symphony reservation is an irrevocable obligation by the member to pay for the reserved tickets. Electronic transfers and payments (Zelle, cash app, etc.) are NOT accepted. 

    Reservations: Please register by clicking on the "Register" button below. The deadline for registration for this event is Sunday evening, November 1. Members will meet Paul Hinson in the Galleria/lobby of Symphony Hall at 7:30 PM the evening of the performance to exchange their checks for their tickets. 

    Event Details, from the program: Brahms Revealed, the season-long Brahms festival, continues with a psychological profile of the composer. Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann kicks it off with a splendorous orchestral suite by Brahms’s hero, Johann Sebastian Bach. She follows the suite with something of a joke. When the officials at the University of Breslau awarded Brahms an honorary degree, they hoped that he would write them a symphony. Ever bullheaded and often a tease, Brahms instead gave them the Academic Festival Overture, a rollicking piece packed with student drinking songs.

    In 1881, Brahms poured that same free spirit into his Piano Concerto No. 2. It’s an absolute charmer for audiences, but a bear for the pianist. A concerto with the grandeur of a symphony, it is athletic, turbulent, tender, and fiery, and a perfect showcase for the talents of pianist and ASO Artist-in-Residence, Anna Geniushene.

    Additional Information: Seats are truly great $55 seats, middle orchestra right, which are provided to us for $22 per seat through the ASO’s community ticketing program. When you register for an ASO event, a ticket is purchased in your name, and you are required to reimburse Paul Hinson for the $22/ticket cost of your ticket(s) the evening of the performance. Cash is accepted in the exact amount. Electronic transfers and payments (Zelle, cash app, etc.) are NOT accepted. 

    Registrations can be canceled ONLY 5 days or more before the event. (To cancel a reservation, go to your profile and select  "My event registrations.") If due to unforeseen circumstances you are not able to use your ticket, you must still reimburse Paul for the purchase price of your tickets.   

    Parking: Free parking is available in the Ansley Park neighborhood along 15th street on weeknights—you’ll see neighborhood parking decal sticker requirements on parking signs but most of those signs will indicate that neighborhood stickers are not required weekday evenings before 10PM. However when parking in that area be advised that occasionally cars are ticketed right after 10PM in the neighborhood to the east of the Arts Center. Some members elect to continue to park there and take that risk. Paid parking is also available in the arts center garage, or in any of several other garages in the area such as the Promenade. See this link for more information on parking.

    Questions: Contact Paul Hinson at pwhinson@mac.com or 404-583-4445.

People come to the OK Cafe for the quality of the food and the sort of menu your grandmother would make for Sunday dinner, if you had a grandma who could cook that is. Mix in an uncle who was a short order cook at the best grill in town, and you've got the family recipes that make the OK Cafe so popular.

    November Book Selection (in December)

    The Guncle Abroad

    by Steve Rowley

    When: 3 PM on the last Wednesday of each month

    Where: We meet via Zoom.  Login information will be included in your registration confirmation email.

    About the book: From the Amazon description... 

    Patrick O’Hara is back. It’s been five years since his summer as his niece Maisie and nephew Grant’s caretaker after their mother’s passing. The kids are back in Connecticut with their dad, and Patrick has relocated to New York to remain close by and relaunch his dormant acting career. After the run of his second successful sit-com comes to a close, Patrick feels on top of the world... professionally. But some things have had to take a back seat. Looking down both barrels at fifty, Patrick is single again after breaking things off with Emory. But at least he has a family to lean on. Until that family needs to again lean on him.

    When Patrick's brother, Greg, announces he’s getting remarried in Italy, Maisie and Grant are not thrilled. Patrick feels drawn to take the two back under his wing. As they travel through Europe on their way to the wedding, Patrick tries his best to help them understand love, much as he once helped them comprehend grief. But when they arrive in Italy, Patrick is overextended managing a groom with cold feet; his sister, Clara, flirting with guests left and right; a growing rivalry with the kids’ charming soon-to-be-launt (lesbian aunt), and two moody young teens trying to adjust to a new normal, all culminating in a disastrous rehearsal dinner.

    Can Patrick save the day? Will teaching the kids about love help him repair his own love life? Can the change of scenery help Patrick come to terms with finally growing up?

    Gracing the work with his signature blend of humor and heart, Steven Rowley charms with a beloved story about the complicated bonds of family, love, and what it takes to rediscover yourself, even at the ripe age of fifty.

    Additional Information: Seats are truly great $55 seats, middle orchestra right, which are provided to us for $22 per seat through the ASO’s community ticketing program.

    December Book Selection

    My Friends

    by Fredrik Backman

    When: 3 PM on the last Wednesday of each month

    Where: We meet via Zoom.  Login information will be included in your registration confirmation email.

    About the book: From the Amazon description... 

    Most people don't even notice them—three tiny figures sitting at the end of a long pier in the corner of one of the most famous paintings in the world. Most people think it's just a depiction of the sea. But Louisa, an aspiring artist herself, knows otherwise, and she is determined to find out the story of these three enigmatic figures.

    Twenty-five years earlier, in a distant seaside town, a group of teenagers find refuge from their bruising home lives by spending long summer days on an abandoned pier, telling silly jokes, sharing secrets, and committing small acts of rebellion. These lost souls find in each other a reason to get up each morning, a reason to dream, a reason to love.

    Out of that summer emerges a transcendent work of art, a painting that will unexpectedly be placed into eighteen-year-old Louisa's care. She embarks on a surprise-filled cross-country journey to learn how the painting came to be and to decide what to do with it. The closer she gets to the painting's birthplace, the more nervous she becomes about what she'll find. Louisa is proof that happy endings don't always take the form we expect in this stunning testament to the transformative, timeless power of friendship and art.
