Chris Botti returns to the ASO May 8, 2020

Atlanta Symphony Orchestra
Chris Botti

The Atlanta Symphony Hall presents an evening with jazz trumpeter and music icon Chris Botti on Friday May 8, 2020. 

For over two decades, the Grammy Award-winning master artist and composer has amassed a spectacular variety of honors, including multiple Gold and Platinum albums, to become the nation’s largest selling instrumental artist. His mesmerizing performances with a stunning array of legends such as Gladys Knight, Sting, Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett, Yo-Yo Ma, Frank Sinatra, Paul Simon and Andrea Bocelli have cemented his place as one of the most brilliant and inspiring forces of the contemporary music scene. Whether he's performing with illustrious symphonies or at renowned venues around the globe, his unparalleled crystalline and poetic sound transcends musical boundaries.

There's nothing like a Chris Botti concert. He's the complete package: a dazzling trumpeter at home in everything from jazz to pop to rock, a brilliant bandleader who lets his players shine, and a born showman whose joy at being onstage is infectious. See him live and you'll understand why musical stars from Sting to Paul Simon to Joni Mitchell have been eager to share his stage.

Enjoy Chris Botti along with Jill Scott and their rendition of Billie Holiday's "Good Morning Heartache" below:
