Looking Forward To 2016: Atlanta Symphony Orchestra

December 28th, 2015

We are asking everyone in WABE’s newsroom what stories they will be watching in 2016.

“All Things Considered” host Amy Kiley says the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra is planning concerts around conductor Robert Shaw’s 100th birthday in April.

“Robert Shaw is one of the most famous choral conductors in the entire world probably, and he lived right here in Atlanta, and has quite a legacy that the ASO is celebrating,” she said.

As we head into 2016, WABE’s news staffers will let you know ─ on the air and here on WABE.org ─ much more about the topics they think will make news in the coming year.
