It all starts with a handshake.

Before every performance, Music Director Michael Giel and Concertmaster Earl Hough share a simple gesture that represents something much bigger: respect, partnership, and trust. The conductor and concertmaster work together to shape the artistic vision of each performance. Once they're in sync, the rest of the orchestra follows, creating the collaboration that brings the music to life. Some of the most important moments of a concert happen before the first note is ever played. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #InnovationAcademy #jacksonhealthcare #northpointmall #northpoint #alpharettasymphony #alpharettamusiccity #alpharettaamplified #alpharettaga #artsalpharetta #alpharettaevents #symphony #orchestra #classicalmusic #supportthearts #artsatlanta #alpharettamusicians
