The Atlanta Community Symphony Orchestra invites you to experience its 68th anniversary during the 2025-2026 season with Take Flight – a musical journey that soars through unity, imagination, celebration, and legacy. Under the leadership of Artistic Director and Conductor Robert Trocina, Principal Guest Conductor John Thomas Dodson, and Concertmaster David Philip Reesman, the season features both a masterworks and family series. Audiences will get the chance to see three wonderfully talented young soloists perform as Featured Artists from our reimagined Ruth Kern Competition, each winning the opportunity to play as the featured soloist during one of our series concerts. In addition, the season brings amazing solo talent from John Thomas Burson on trumpet, David Philip Reesman on violin, Joel Emerson on piccolo, and Matthew Brown on harpsichord.
