Atlanta’s beloved GRAMMY Award-winning Atlanta Symphony Orchestra just announced its 2026 Holiday Season, and it is packed with concerts the whole family will love. From late November through the holidays, Atlanta Symphony Hall becomes the city’s happiest gathering place for music.
The fun kicks off with Elf in Concert (November 28–29), the favorite movie performed live with the orchestra, part of the Movies in Concert series. Then comes the Family Concert Winter Wonderland on December 6 — a merry sing-along featuring selections from The Nutcracker, the concert suite from The Polar Express, Sleigh Ride and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
Tradition lovers get the classic Christmas with the ASO concerts (December 10–13), with the ASO Chorus joined by the Spivey Hall Children’s Choir and the Morehouse College Glee Club under Norman Mackenzie, plus Handel’s Messiah (December 17) — a treasured Atlanta Christmas tradition.
The season sparkles with guest stars too: Celtic Woman with the ASO (December 19–20), Hamilton‘s Leslie Odom, Jr. on his Christmas Tour (December 21–22), and the brand-new Sounds of the Season celebration (December 23). After New Year’s, the orchestra welcomes 2027 with The Four Seasons (January 7–10). Tickets are available at aso.org.
