There is something special about the start of a new season.

It is a time when anticipation fills the halls, new ideas take shape, and our community comes together to celebrate the power of live performance. I was thrilled to see more than 200 people join us for our season launch event. That was an encouraging and energizing beginning to what promises to be one of our most vibrant seasons yet.

The Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center is more than a collection of venues. It is a place where laughter, music, wonder, tradition, and shared experience come alive. This season, we are proud to welcome a remarkable range of artists and events that will offer something for every generation and every kind of arts lover.

Audiences can look forward to an unforgettable lineup, including:

 

  • Michael Carbonaro, bringing his signature blend of illusion, comedy, and surprise.
  • A Magical Cirque Christmas, a holiday spectacular filled with wonder for the entire family.
  • New Year’s Eve with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, a magnificent way to ring in the new year.
  • The Righteous Brothers, whose timeless music continues to connect with audiences across generations.
  • The Price is Right Live, bringing the excitement of the iconic game show directly to our stage.
  • The Vienna Girls Choir, one of the world’s most celebrated choral ensembles; and
  • Jay Leno, whose sharp humor and unmistakable presence promise an evening to remember.

These are only some of the experiences ahead. Each performance represents an opportunity to gather with friends, neighbors, and visitors; to be entertained, inspired, and reminded that there is no substitute for being in the room when a performance comes to life.

Our fall calendar is also strengthened by the work of our Signature Events team, whose offerings continue to bring energy and creativity beyond the stage. We are especially excited to produce the Blue Stone Arts and Music Festival on September 25 and 26, a celebration of artists, music, culture, and community connection, featuring free admission. And, of course, we look forward to the return of OktoberFEAST, one of those occasions that brings people together for great food, music, and a memorable placemaking experience.

As we move into the season, I am grateful for the artists, patrons, partners, City leadership, staff, volunteers, and supporters who make this work possible. Their commitment helps ensure that the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center remains a welcoming, sustainable, and dynamic cultural home for our community.

The season is underway, the calendar is full, and the excitement is real. I hope you will join us often in the months ahead, whether for a favorite performer, a new artistic discovery, a family tradition, or simply an evening out with friends.

We have a lively season ahead, and I cannot wait to share it with you.
