The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (ASO) proudly presents Music in the  Meadow at Serenbe, a socially-distanced, outdoor concert series this October. Located in the  community of Serenbe in Chattahoochee Hills, two separate concerts will be hosted: Classical  Mystery Tour: A Tribute to The Beatles on Friday, October 2 and Opera’s Greatest Hits on  Saturday, October 3. Tickets for both performances will become available Friday, September 18 at  10:00 AM at ASO.org and all Ticketmaster outlets. 

“We are incredibly grateful to our friends at Serenbe for collaborating with us to create a unique way  to once again perform for a live audience,” said Jennifer Barlament, Executive Director of the Atlanta  Symphony Orchestra. “Our musicians and our audiences have been eager for the Atlanta Symphony  

Orchestra to return to the stage to make music together since our last performance in Symphony  Hall six months ago. We are committed to staying connected with the community during this time  with an exciting series of socially distant in-person performances in combination with our virtual  concert series this fall.”

Find out when Classical Mystery Tour performs live with the ASO for the first  night of Music in the Meadow on Friday, October 2. From early Beatles music through the solo years,  Classical Mystery Tour presents Beatles tunes performed exactly as they were originally recorded.  The four musicians in Classical Mystery Tour look and sound just like The Beatles, but Classical  Mystery Tour is much more than just a rock concert!
