ATLANTA – Today, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (ASO) announced their return to The Frederick Brown Jr. Ampitheater (The Fred) in Peachtree City with Windborne’s The Music Of Def Leppard program on June 24, 2023, bridging the gulf between rock n’ roll and classical music. This show comes on the heels of the ASO’s debut performance at The Fred in 2022, which sold-out.

Conductor Brent Havens will take the podium to present Windborne’s The Music Of Def Leppard, a program scored to extend the listening experience of Def Leppard’s exceptional tunes. Performed by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and amplified with a full rock band and the vocals of Justin Sargent, this show captures Def Leppard’s distinct sound while presenting some familiar and lots of new musical colors.

Tickets for The Music of Def Leppard with the ASO at The Fred are available to purchase as a part of The Fred’s season ticket renewals on Thursday, February 23 at 10am, as a part of new season ticket packages on Thursday, March 2 at 10am and will be available for purchase as a single concert experience on Wednesday, March 8 at 10am.

About the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra
The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (ASO) is in its 78th season, with Nathalie Stutzmann as only the fifth music director in the history of the Orchestra—and the only woman to ever hold the position. Maestro Stutzmann will continue the ASO’s mission of bringing new and exciting composers and guest artists to Atlanta.

The ASO is one of the leading orchestras in the United States, performing more than 150 concerts each year from the Delta Classical, Movies in Concert, Family Concert, and Coca-Cola Holiday series, as well as the Atlanta Symphony Hall LIVE concerts and many community and education concerts.

In addition, the ASO performs with the 200-plus voice, all-volunteer ASO Chorus, originally founded in 1970 by Robert Shaw, and currently under the Direction of Norman Mackenzie. The chorus was featured on nine of the ASO’s Grammy award-winning recordings.
