The Asheville Symphony's new Alt ASO series fulfills something music director Darko Butorac has wanted since arriving in Asheville three seasons ago—taking the orchestra out of Thomas Wolfe Auditorium and into smaller venues around town.
The series calls on smaller configurations of the orchestra performing a broader array of music. Programs in the initial series feature songs from the likes of Lady Gaga, Guns n’ Roses, Queen and Nirvana, along with operatic works.
Alt ASO opens January 25 at Highland Brewing. Other series concerts are April 26 at the Orange Peel and June 21 at the Asheville Art Museum. I’m Matt Peiken, BPR News.
