Okay, okay, okay… today’s the day we give some praise to the person who helps create the look and feel of the Alpharetta Symphony! 🎻 She may look like just one of our talented violinists, but behind the scenes, she’s creating our programs, banners, flyers, signage, and helping shape our marketing strategy. Today’s #FeatureFriday is none other than Leesha Jones! A workhorse both on and off the violin, Leesha helps bring the Alpharetta Symphony’s music to life in more ways than one. So, the next time you’re handed a program at one of our concerts, know that you're holding something created by the same person sitting on stage playing the epic music! 🎶 Thank you, Leesha, for all that you do for the Symphony! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #InnovationAcademy #jacksonhealthcare #northpointmall #northpoint #alpharettasymphony #alpharettamusiccity #alpharettaamplified #alpharettaga #artsalpharetta #alpharettaevents #symphony #orchestra #classicalmusic #supportthearts #artsatlanta

Last season, the amazing (and delicious!) Antico Pizza generously supplied our Alpharetta Symphony Youth Orchestra with free pizza. 🍕 We’re incredibly grateful for their support of the arts and the joy they brought to our students, so we just had to give them a special banner signed by all the students whose days Antico has made a little brighter! Thank you, Antico Pizza, for supporting the next generation of musicians! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #InnovationAcademy #jacksonhealthcare #northpointmall #northpoint #alpharettasymphony #alpharettamusiccity #alpharettaamplified #alpharettaga #artsalpharetta #alpharettaevents #symphony #orchestra #classicalmusic #supportthearts #artsatlanta #alpharettamusicians

Today's #FeatureFriday isn't about one soloist or even a duet, it's all about the Alpharetta Symphony Woodwind Quintet!

In fact, come see what we mean tomorrow, July 25th, at 1pm at the Alpharetta Branch Library for their Under the Sea performance! This educational performance is the perfect opportunity for you and your family to discover just how incredible these five instruments can sound when they come together.
