The ACP's Soirée Series

This informal series complements the group’s formal public artistic concerts. The soirées are typically fully subscribed with a waiting list and are limited to approximately 75 attendees at each event, depending on the size and available
performance space of the home.
A growing list of loyal and passionate supporters eagerly await the chance to hear beautiful music performed expertly by leading musicians of the Atlanta Symphony, see incredible local homes, learn about chamber music, instruments, and composers and meet other chamber music enthusiasts. Our Soirée audience and ACP musicians count these experiences among their favorite musical outlets. Contact us for information on how to become a Soirée subscriber or for information on hosting one of our Soirée evenings. When available, individual tickets to each Soirée event are $120 per person. Email us or call 404-594-3445 to inquire about availability.
