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. Bennett led the organization for more than three decades, helping shape the foundation of the GSO we know today. This season, her daughter Barbara Bennett is honoring that legacy by sponsoring The Betty Shipman Bennett Conductor’s Podium. 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. Saturday, Oct. 10 | 7:30 p.m. Bailey Performance Center at Kennesaw State University Get tickets at the link in our bio. #GeorgiaSymphonyOrchestra #AtlantaEvents #LiveMusic #KennesawGA
