More than 40 years ago, a simple invitation brought Mary Kay Howard to the GSO. She has been showing up ever since. From sponsoring the Mary Kay Howard Chair for Principal Bass to leading, fundraising, hosting, and hands-on volunteer work, Mary Kay has helped shape nearly every part of the organization. We are so grateful for her unwavering dedication, generous spirit, and the countless ways she has supported the GSO over the years. Thank you, Mary Kay, for all that you do for our symphony family!

The next GSO performance begins long before the musicians take the stage. It takes advance planning, confident budgeting, and consistent community support to bring each season to life.

Members also receive year-round donor benefits and recognition.

For nearly 40 years, Theresa Eubanks Ireland gave her time, leadership, and support to the Georgia Symphony Orchestra. She served as treasurer and president of the Women’s Guild, joined the Board of Trustees, and received the Maestro Baton of Excellence in 2002. Concertmaster Edward Eanes remembers her lasting impact: “Theresa is largely responsible for the longevity of the Georgia Symphony Orchestra. There were many times that she was the angel who kept us going when we were between music directors.” In 2026, Theresa’s husband, Grady Ireland, and daughter, Heather Golden, established a fund to name the Concertmaster Chair in her honor in perpetuity. We are honored to carry Theresa’s legacy forward. #ArtsPhilanthropy #CommunityLeadership #LegacyGiving #OrchestralMusic #PerformingArts

A legacy at the podium. 🎶 At our Oct. 10 season opener, American Tapestry, the Georgia Symphony Orchestra will honor one of the most important figures in our history: Betty Shipman Bennett.

Barbara and her husband, Steve Walag, will travel from Riverside, California, to join us for this special evening. American Tapestry celebrates the spirit, energy, and complexity of America through music that is bold, inspiring, and deeply human.

Conflict. Love. Community. Resilience.

Timpani can deliver everything from quiet, suspenseful pulses to thunderous crescendos, shaping the rhythm and adding dramatic impact to an orchestral performance. A few facts about the timpani: Timpani have roots in military music. Modern pedal timpani allow musicians to adjust pitch using a foot pedal. In the 18th century, Johann Christian Fischer composed a symphony that called for eight timpani. Follow along for more behind-the-music features from GSO and GYSO. /#Timpani #Percussionist #OrchestraLife #MusicEducation #OrchestralMusic

Edward Eanes has shaped the GSO far beyond the concertmaster’s chair. Since joining the then-Cobb Symphony in 1998, he has helped lead the orchestra through nearly three decades of growth, from a mostly volunteer community ensemble to the successful regional orchestra it is today. His musicianship, precision, and service-first leadership have helped define the GSO’s sound and the collaborative spirit behind every performance. He has guided the string sections, served as a trusted link between conductors and musicians, and set a standard of preparation and professionalism for those around him. Edward will be honored once more at Classics 1: American Tapestry on Oct. 10. Join us as we celebrate nearly three decades of his leadership, musicianship, and service to the orchestra.

What does a blind audition actually mean? 🎶 At the Georgia Symphony Orchestra, musicians audition behind a screen so the panel can focus on what matters most: their artistry and ability.

What exactly does a concertmaster do? Edward Eanes would know. He has served as Concertmaster of the Georgia Symphony Orchestra since 1998, leading from the first violin chair as the GSO has grown from a community orchestra into the successful regional orchestra it is today. As Edward prepares to retire this fall, we’re taking a closer look at the role he has held for more than two decades — and the responsibilities that come with it. Join us in congratulating Edward on his upcoming retirement and more than two decades of dedication to the GSO. #GeorgiaSymphonyOrchestra #Concertmaster #ClassicalMusic #AtlantaArts #GeorgiaArts

For Arylessence founders Steve and Gail Tanner, supporting greater access for families is personal. Their grandson Gavin has autism and is an unreliable speaker. Through years of searching, learning and advocating for him, the Tanner family has seen firsthand what can happen when barriers are removed and people are given opportunities to participate and thrive. It is an experience that has shaped an important belief for their family: access matters. That belief is also part of what makes Arylessence’s support of the Georgia Symphony Orchestra’s Sensory Friendly Concert Series so meaningful. As Arylessence Director of Public Affairs and Community Engagement Lori Burns shared, “Music is a universal language and unifier.” Through its sponsorship, Arylessence is helping make GSO’s upcoming Sensory Friendly performance of Adventure Awaits! Movie Music for the Whole Family free for families in our community. The September 12 performance has already reached full capacity! We are grateful to Arylessence and the Tanner family for their generosity and for helping open the door to music for more families.

Warm, rich, and deeply expressive, the cello is often called the closest instrument to the human voice. Evolving from 16th-century bass strings, it has become a core voice of the orchestra, bridging harmony and melody while carrying much of the emotional weight of the music.
