Staff Report
The Symphony in Your Neighborhood partnership between the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (ASO) and the DeKalb County Public Library (DCPL) will bring free chamber music performances by Atlanta Symphony musicians to several library branches throughout DeKalb County and the Clarkston Community Center during the Orchestra’s 2013-14 season.
The casual, hour-long concerts will provide audience members with the opportunity to learn about the music being performed as well as interact with ASO musicians. The program will be presented in Spanish at the Chamblee Library, which serves a community with many Spanish speakers.
