Atlanta Symphony Orchestra POPS! Season Tickets on Sale Tomorrow

The Grammy Award-winning Atlanta Symphony Orchestra extended the audience favorite Delta POPS! season to include 10 performances for the 2015-16 season. Six of the 10 concerts will be led by Principal Delta POPS! Conductor Michael Krajewski.

Atlanta Symphony Orchestra POPS! season tickets are now available in three concert evening or matinee packages or a six concert package. Single tickets go on sale August 20, 2015, 10 a.m. for both the Delta Classical and Delta POPS! series at atlantasymphony.org.

The Delta POPS! season will open with Classical Mystery Tour, a tribute to the Beatles. Fifty years ago, the Beatles played their only Atlanta concert at what was then Atlanta Stadium, and on October 16 and 17, 2015, Classical Mystery Tour and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, led by Michael Krajewski, will recreate that concert with an evening of iconic Beatles classics.
