Birmingham Kicks Off ASO’s 2024-25 Season with Exciting Events

As September rolls in, Birmingham is buzzing with excitement for the kickoff of the Alabama Symphony Orchestra’s (ASO) 2024-25 season. This year promises an exciting roster of events that are sure to engage and entertain audiences of all ages. With a variety of performances lined up, there is something for everyone, and it’s time to mark your calendars.

Festive Overture and More

The opening event will feature a lively concert that highlights the brilliance of Shostakovich’s Festive Overture. This piece will start the evening with a bright brass fanfare that is sure to capture your attention. Alongside this, award-winning organist Patrick Scott will be making his debut performance. His program will include musical arrangements by Samuel Barber and Saint-Saëns, ensuring an evening filled with rich and diverse sounds.

In an exciting bonus for attendees, each concert ticket includes free admission to Conductor’s Comments with Maestro Carlos Izcaray. This session, taking place before the concert, allows concert-goers to delve deeper into the specific pieces performed and gain insight into the music.

Symphony in the Gardens

On Sunday, September 29, families are invited to the beautiful Birmingham Botanical Gardens for one of the city’s most beloved traditions—Symphony in the Gardens. Now in its 27th year, this event combines a delightful picnic atmosphere with a fantastic concert by the ASO.

Attendees can expect to dine in a picnic-style setting, enjoying tasty offerings from Symphony30. Ticket holders will receive a boxed meal from Urban Cookhouse, along with drinks including water, tea, wine, and beer. Juice boxes will be available for the little ones. Remember, food must be ordered in advance, and all proceeds from this festive occasion will go towards supporting ASO’s educational and outreach programs.

Exciting Concerts for Kids

This fall, the ASO will also cater to younger audiences with a special Explorer Concert titled Peter and the Wolf. Scheduled for October, this performance uniquely blends music and acting, featuring collaboration with the Birmingham Children’s Theatre. The engaging story follows a boy’s adventure with his grandfather and animal friends, allowing children in the audience to explore how different instruments contribute to storytelling. This interactive experience is designed for kids in Kindergarten through third grade.

Back to the ’80s Concert

Later in October, get ready to step back in time as the ASO presents a Back to the ’80s concert. For one night only, expect to hear a lineup of classic hits that will have you reminiscing about cassette tapes and vibrant fashion. Audiences are encouraged to embrace the spirit of the era by showcasing their own big hair and leg warmers. The concert promises a fun journey through popular music from that unforgettable decade.

Planning Ahead

The ASO is already laying out its plans for the 2025 season, which is sure to excite those who want to experience more. Families and music lovers alike are encouraged to look into upcoming performances for a season filled with captivating music.
