What we’re about
"Music, healing for the soul, mind and body"
My love of classical music began many years ago when I discovered it's healing, calming and therapeutic properties at a particularly stressful moment in my life. I run this group so all can access this wonderful music genre. This group is ideal for classical music fans and musicians in metro Atlanta who want to find out about the most interesting concerts and events in Atlanta, and attend them.
Concerts featuring orchestral, choral, chamber, opera, and recitals, from the largest concert halls to recital halls at colleges, to churches and coffee houses. Fine arts like classical dance performances/shows also we can jam, play sing and perform together.
Performances of other music varieties in music venues like local bars - genres other than classical music are welcome too.
Many of our events are free of cost or low cost so are very accessible to all.
Members are encouraged to post relevant events on the 'suggest a meetup' section of the website. We encourage any one attending an event to volunteer to hold up the meetup sign (found in the menu under More then Files then Meetup sign to hold up at events) so the group can meet and sit together.
I look forward to seeing you at some wonderful musical events
Best wishes

See all- Steele Roots opera inspired by life of Carrie Steel LoganRay Charles Performing Arts Center, Atlanta, GA
Atlanta Opera presents Steele Roots, an opera inspired by the real life and legacy of Carrie Steele Logan, a formerly enslaved woman who dedicates her life to caring for orphaned children in Atlanta. Steele Roots examines themes of legacy, family, and perseverance through the lens of Carrie Steele. Set in the late 19th century at the Atlanta Terminal train station and moving into the present day, the story follows Carrie, who uses her literacy, integrity, and compassion to care for abandoned children while raising funds to establish a permanent home for them.
The narrative shifts between past and present as Michael, a modern-day father, arrives seeking a connection to his family roots to become a better father to his newborn daughter and learns he is a descendant of one of Carrie's rescued orphans. The story explores ideas of community, responsibility, and the enduring influence of one person’s actions. Carrie’s efforts endure in the Carrie Steele-Pitts Home, an Atlanta institution and testament to her determination and vision. With its blend of music and dialogue, Steele Roots shows how a single person can change the world for the better. Carrie is buried at Atlanta's Oakland Cemetery, the site of the opera's final scene. The Carrie Steele-Pitts Home is considered the oldest such institution in the United States.
