Atlanta Symphony music director Robert Spano leads the orchestra in Dmitri Shostakovich’s “Leningrad” Symphony, a defiant and tuneful 1941 piece that was smuggled out of Russia during Hitler’s 900-day siege of the city of Leningrad. German-Canadian cellist Johannes Moser (“one of the finest among the astonishing gallery of young virtuoso cellists,” says Gramophone magazine) joins the ASO for Leonard Bernstein’s Three Meditations from Mass. The Thursday concert includes a 6:45 p.m. chamber recital open to ticket holders for either night. Tickets are in the balcony but upgrades to floor seating may be possible.
