Go back to where it all began with this concert event! Featuring a soundtrack that blends symphonic orchestral music with hip-hop, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Live in Concert pairs a screening of the Academy Award®-winning animated film with live musicians and turntables featuring a DJ scratcher live on stage. Emmy® winner Daniel Pemberton composed a sprawling score of boundary-pushing original music that is complimented with song contributions by Post Malone, Lil Wayne, Jaden Smith, and Nicki Minaj. The hip-hop based score results in a sonic universe that is woven throughout the fabric of the film, supporting its themes of resilience and universal heroism. Joining the tour is The Broadway Sinfonietta, an all-women and majority women-of-color orchestra led by conductor Emily Marshall.
The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra will not perform at this event. *
Samara Joy: A Joyful Holiday
Coming to Symphony Hall on December 19, 2023 at 8pm, tickets for this show will go on sale onFriday, June 23 at 12:00PM at ticketmaster.com. Samara Joy: A Joyful Holiday is presented by Delta Atlanta Symphony Hall LIVE.
With her GRAMMY-Award winning and chart-topping album, Linger Awhile, 23-year-old Samara Joy makes her case to join the likes of Sarah, Ella, and Billie as the next mononymous jazz singing sensation recorded by the venerable Verve Records. Her voice, rich and velvety yet precociously refined, has already earned her fans like Anita Baker and Regina King and appearances on the TODAY Show, The Tonight Show w/Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show w/Stephen Colbert, CBS Mornings, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, and more, in addition to millions of likes on TikTok — cementing her status as perhaps the first Gen Z jazz singing star. The New York Times praised the “silky-voiced rising star” for “helping jazz take a youthful turn” while NPR All Things Considered named her a “classic jazz singer from a new generation.” In February 2023, Samara Joy took home two GRAMMYs – Best Jazz Vocal Album and the auspicious Best New Artist award.
The release of her album, Linger Away, is just one more step for the ascendant, 2x GRAMMY-winning vocalist, who has spent the past several months touring all over the world on increasingly larger stages — still shocked to be performing in front of thousands who hang on every word. “I’m still very much a student, even though I’ve graduated,” Samara says. “So this is only the beginning… there is much, much more to come.”

Coming to Symphony Hall on December 21 & 22, 2023 at 8pm, tickets will go on sale for this show on Friday, June 23 at 12:00PM at ticketmaster.com. Celtic Woman: A Christmas Symphony is presented by Delta Atlanta Symphony Hall LIVE.

Prepare for an enchanting and festive evening filled with mesmerizing music, performance, and holiday cheer.
