Edward Eanes has shaped the GSO far beyond the concertmaster’s chair.

Since joining the then-Cobb Symphony in 1998, he has helped lead the orchestra through nearly three decades of growth, from a mostly volunteer community ensemble to the successful regional orchestra it is today. His musicianship, precision, and service-first leadership have helped define the GSO’s sound and the collaborative spirit behind every performance. He has guided the string sections, served as a trusted link between conductors and musicians, and set a standard of preparation and professionalism for those around him. Edward will be honored once more at Classics 1: American Tapestry on Oct. 10. Join us as we celebrate nearly three decades of his leadership, musicianship, and service to the orchestra.
