I checked out the Atlanta Symphony website and picked a few concerts that may be of interest.
Saint-Saens Organ Symphony
Saint-Saëns' inspired "Organ" Symphony is the spirited and optimistic star of this evening of French masterpieces. The celebrated violinist and conductor Pinchas Zukerman brings us a rising-star violinist in Ms. Hagner ("resourceful technique. deeply affecting" - New York Times).

Pictures At An Exhibition
Transcendent! Russian Orthodox chants and ringing cathedral bells color the orchestral sounds of Rimsky-Korsakov's ode to Easter. Equally colorful is Ravel's masterful orchestration of Mussorgsky's Pictures. ASO Concertmaster Cecylia Arzewski will shine in Khachaturian's only violin concerto, imbued with the spirit of the dances and folksongs of his native Armenia.

Shostakovich Symphony No. 5
Emmanuel Krivine returns to lead Shostakovich’s sweeping work of struggle from tragedy to triumph. Equally gripping are Schumann’s Manfred Overture and virtuosic piano concerto, which is a fine showcase for the gifted American pianist Nicholas Angelich, making his ASO debut.

Berlioz Requiem
Hector Berlioz’s legendary Requiem is filled with multiple trumpet calls that echo amidst the thunder and doom as grace descends with choral beauty. A showpiece for the acclaimed Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus that sold out when last performed at Symphony Hall.
