The Orchestra and guest vocalists perform the scores and songs of memorable Disney movies — The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and more — shown on the big screens. Special encore at Symphony Hall in November.

There’s something about Rick Springfield that is and always has been very real. His songs about love and loss, greed and envy, elation and heartbreak spoke to that part of human nature that hasn’t changed in 3,000 years.  They still do.

The road to Oz has never been more spectacular! Follow Dorothy and her pals in one of the most popular movies ever made, shown on giant screens amid the natural beauty of the park, with the exciting score, live!

Robert Spano opens the season with two explosive masterpieces by two of the world’s most revolutionary composers. Mozart’s magical homage to Mlle. Jeunehomme is lovingly rendered by the masterful Mr. Watts. The Orchestra flexes its muscles in Berlioz’s fantastical symphony of his unrequited ardor for the beautiful Irish actress Harriet Smithson.

The latest addition to the glorious Spano-Ax collaborations is the lyrical and introspective Fourth Piano Concerto of Beethoven. Mahler poured his soul into his “Titan” Symphony and said: “The emotions became so powerful that they gushed forth like an impetuous torrent.”

Leading Broadway vocalists tap into the diva within and sing your favorites from the record-breaking Wicked. Hear “Defying Gravity,” “What Is This Feeling?,” “For Good,” and more as well as hits from other contemporary musicals.

Mr. Rachlin’s “virtuosic technique” (NY Times) poignantly conveys Berg’s last completed work, dedicated “To the Memory of an Angel.” Donald Runnicles leads Strauss’s shimmering Blue Danube — the most famous waltz ever written — and the romantically powerful Second Symphony by Brahms.

A spellbinding evening begins with Ligeti’s wondrous Atmosphères, a work that gained wide public attention when heard on the 2001: A Space Odyssey soundtrack. The Bartók is a bristling account of robbery, seduction, sexual longing, and murder, and the mighty Chorus blazes forth in Janácek’s epic Glagolitic Mass.

Costumes adorn Symphony Hall as musicians and audience wear their most frightful garb and try to guess Jere Flint’s surprise costume. The music is wicked good, and theatrical surprises keep the kids on the edge of their seats.

Double pleasure from a true musical icon! Mr. Perlman conducts and plays a menu of beauties: a trio of jewels by Mozart, and Dvořák’s “New World” Symphony, a sumptuous ode to America and an orchestral triumph of regal proportions.

Our soloists are front and center, including new concertmaster David Coucheron, in Haydn’s Sinfonia Concertante, a gleaming work from a true master. Shostakovich — his bold creativity stifled by Stalin’s police state — couched a simmering protest in the second movement of the fire-breathing Tenth.

Tony Award-winning powerhouse vocalist Idina Menzel returns to perform with the Orchestra. Following star turns in Rent and Wicked on Broadway, Ms. Menzel joined the cast of TV’s hit show Glee as the coach of a rival glee club.

The Orchestra’s youth ensemble is a formidable yet collegial environment for aspiring young talent. Recognized nationally for its performances here and abroad, the Youth Orchestra performs three concerts each season under the leadership of longtime Music Director Jere Flint.

A lush evening in Spain with the remarkable Ms. Fliter, whose acclaimed Symphony Hall debut sent her racing to stardom. She performs de Falla’s gemstone inspired by his beloved homeland. Don Juan’s conquests and Ravel’s crowd-pleasing showpiece round out a perfect evening.

Celebrate Disney’s 55th anniversary in this salute in images and songs — with live vocals from a California quartet — to the famed studio’s theatrical releases and cartoons. Includes Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and other jewels from the Disney vault.

The Christmas portion and “Hallelujah” Chorus from Handel’s landmark Messiah is the springboard to joyous holidays at the ASO.

Praised for its immaculate sound and fervor, the ASO Gospel Choir mixes roots and modern gospel for a raise-the roof shout out to Atlanta.

Jere Flint conducts this annual Christmas present for the entire family. The Youth Orchestra performs seasonal favorites, and Lee Harper & Dancers and special guests add visual sparkle.

More than 400 musicians and singers pay homage to the legendary Robert Shaw’s ultimate gift to the city he loved. His awe-inspiring story of Christmas resonates anew under Director of Choruses Norman Mackenzie.

Michael Krajewski’s annual variety show is refreshingly original. From a dancing St. Nick and daringly different entertainers to new versions of beloved favorites and gleeful choruses.

Celebrate Creole Christmas with the legendary house band of New Orleans’s fabled Preservation Hall! No one sits still when these Dixieland masters brew their bubbling magic on stage and in the aisles.

Mr. Krajewski and a splendid vocal trio uncork an evening of festive Italian standards from Sinatra and Jersey Boys to Puccini and Pavarotti that will have you craving calzones and spumoni afterwards.

The esteemed Mr. Bronfman returns in Brahms’s final Piano concerto – a virtuoso display for both pianist and orchestra. Liszt’s rhapsodic toast to the folk music of his native Hungary is a perennial favorite. Viola Principal Reid Harris, one of the Orchestra’s star soloists, is featured in Bartók’s beautiful Viola Concerto.

A defining work glows anew! Only Beethoven could have written Missa Solemnis, a piece carved from Mount Olympus itself. His “Solemn Mass” radiates grace, force, and humanity and is further illumined by the majestic power of the Chorus.

The Creative Partnership at its best! Robert Spano appears in an all-too-rare role, exploring with his conducting partner a prized Mozart concerto. Maestro Runnicles continues his exploration of Bruckner with the monumental Eighth Symphony in all its glory.

All Mozart: the towering genius is heard in his multifarious voices from the intimacy of the wind serenade to the grandeur of the “Prague” Symphony. David Coucheron performs his first solo concerto as Orchestra concertmaster.

Only a fool on the hill would miss an inspired Valentine’s date with the Beatle, Wing and soloist, unerringly portrayed by Tony Kishman, one of the stars of Beatlemania. The spectacular toast to Sir Paul includes Silly Love Songs, Live and Let Die, Maybe I’m Amazed, and the best of the Fab Four.

Larger than life puppets vividly recreate the fantastic tales of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade (based on Arabian Nights).

The anticipation of Jean-Yves Thibaudet and his princely style is enticement enough. Eloquently framing the Liszt concerto is Wagenaar’s colorful Cyrano and the ever-popular Seventh Symphony of Beethoven that Wagner called “the apotheosis of the dance.”

If you weren’t fortunate enough to snag seats to standing room only shows in past seasons, get on the horn now to catch the world’s most sought after trumpeter and the renowned Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Enough said.

Last Round is Atlanta School composer Osvaldo Golijov’s tribute to Astor Piazzolla, the father of the “New Tango.” Piazzolla’s luxurious “Four Seasons” homage to Vivaldi is a glorious fusion of tango, jazz and classical elements. Tchaikovsky’s Fourth pulsates with upheaval, emotional turmoil and triumph.

Schubert composed his stunningly mature overture at the age of 14. Mozart was already in his heyday when he composed the charming 17th concerto, and luminous favorites by Johann and Richard Strauss make for an exhilarating evening. Mr. Muzijevic makes his Symphony Hall debut after excelling at Encore Park last summer.

St. Patty’s without the six-time Grammy-winning Chieftains? Not bloody likely! The world’s most popular and definitive Irish traditional music group is exhilarating in concert, so don your green, polish up your blarney, and have a ball!

The Orchestra’s youth ensemble is a formidable yet collegial environment for aspiring young talent. Recognized nationally for its performances here and abroad, the Youth Orchestra performs three concerts each season under the leadership of longtime Music Director Jere Flint.

Jonathan Biss is an entrancing performer. He brings his insight to Mozart’s sublime piano concerto. Rising Czech conductor Jakub Hrusa makes his debut with excerpts from Janáček’s beguiling comic opera and Dvořák’s superb Seventh Symphony.

Spano, Schubert, Sibelius, and Dawn Upshaw! Schubert’s “Unfinished” is his most well-known and adored symphony. The incomparable Ms. Upshaw gives voice to Osvaldo Golijov’s setting of Schubert songs, the work that ignited his career, and Sibelius’s radiant Luonnotar. The Sibelius Fifth passionately extols Man’s unconquerable soul.

“Can we talk?” Don't dare miss the iconic Joan Rivers in an audacious one-woman show. America's original comic queen of mean is hotter than ever with the hit documentary, “A Piece of Work,” and sold-out shows across the country.

The redoubtable Mr. Abbado and the gifted Mr. Serkin are Atlanta favorites, here matched in a dazzling program: the first of Haydn’s great “London” Symphonies; Bartók’s beautifully poignant piece, penned in his final year for his wife; and Brahms’s riveting First, with its lashing start and crowning conclusion.

The thrilling Overture to Verdi’s opera, The Force of Destiny, is perhaps his most popular orchestral work. Tchaikovsky’s virtuoso concerto is a beacon for daring violinists such as Mr. Krylov, an emerging Russian star. Schumann’s Fourth is a taut and integrated drama, with riveting and recurring themes darting in and out.

Calm and crisis merge to great effect beginning with Mendelssohn’s hypnotic treasure, inspired by two poems by Goethe. Beethoven’s playful Eighth is contrasted by Wagner’s stormy overture suffused with the eternal ache of loneliness. Macedonian marvel Trpceski debuts in Rachmaninov’s final piano concerto.

Haunting echoes of “The Sweet Hereafter”: Puccini’s beloved opera La bohème is entwined with Bach’s Cantata of redemption; Mahler’s original version of what became the opening movement of his famed “Resurrection” Symphony; and Purcell’s Funeral March.

The Orchestra’s youth ensemble is a formidable yet collegial environment for aspiring young talent. Recognized nationally for its performances here and abroad, the Youth Orchestra performs three concerts each season under the leadership of longtime Music Director Jere Flint.

Mr. Hadelich, “a brilliant violinist” (NY Times) makes his Orchestra debut with one of Beethoven’s most lovely and poetic works. Mr. Ono of the Lyon Opera, in his first appearance here as well, leads Ravel’s two ballet suites, which exude beauty and strength.

The persnickety Snicket introduces young audiences to the instruments in the orchestra in the vein of Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf and Britten’s A Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra. An enthralling premiere.

Spring awakens with flourishing beauty. Mr. Spano conducts the Orchestra’s first ever performance of the Rachmaninov Spring Cantata, and richly orchestrated highlights from Mendelssohn’s “Midsummer” classic. Britten’s popular work is one of his finest symphonic odes.

A major coup! A rare Atlanta date by superstar Patti LuPone (Gypsy, Sweeney Todd, Evita), hailed as “a musical cult goddess” (Ben Brantley, NY Times). The Grammy, Emmy and Tony award-winner will perform her showstopping revue, Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda.

Former Composer-in-Residence Alvin Singleton unveils a world premiere. Also heard for the first time is a virtuosic concerto by James Oliverio for the brothers Yancich, Mark of the ASO and Paul of the Cleveland Orchestra. The Symphonic Dances of Rachmaninov swirl and twirl with passionate intensity.

This “Butterfly” soars as never before! A signature “Theater of a Concert” presentation vividly underscores Puccini’s immortal story of an ill-fated marriage. With glorious writing and a celebrated score, and spot-on casting, the tragic masterpiece breathes new fervor as it closes a season of riches.
