The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra’s 2008 Starbucks Free Parks Concert Series includes a performance at the Orchestra’s new summer home: the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park in Alpharetta. This concert is free to the public in large part to major funding provided by the Fulton County Commission under the guidance of the Fulton County Arts Council.

Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Assistant conductor Mei-Ann Chen will lead the concert on Thursday, August 14, at 8:00pm. This event replaces the former free concert held at Wills Park. No coolers or carry-ins are allowed at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre. Low beach-style chairs are permitted (can be no more than 9 inches off the ground). Lawn chairs specifically designed to ensure sightlines and the slope of the hill are available for rental. Cost for renting a lawn chair is $5.00.

This concert is free to the public, but tickets are required. A limited number of free tickets may be obtained online at Ticketmaster.com by calling 404.249.6400 or by visiting the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre box office or the Woodruff Arts Center box office. Complimentary parking passes will be included with ticket orders.
