nder the visionary direction of Maestro Henry Cheng, Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra invites you to experience a season that redefines what an orchestra can be. IMAGINE: Your Playlist is not just a concert series, it’s a curated journey through music’s power to reflect, heal, connect, and inspire.
Each performance this season is a chapter in a deeply personal soundtrack, one that celebrates memory, explores global rhythms, honors tradition, and invites you into moments that feel familiar and yet entirely new. From sweeping cinematic storytelling and beloved pop anthems to timeless holiday favorites and transformative works of reflection, this season is about more than listening. It’s about feeling.
This is just the beginning. As Maestro Cheng leads JCSO into a bold new era, IMAGINE: Your Playlist sets the tone for future seasons of boundary-breaking music and meaningful connection. Join us and discover how orchestral music can become part of your life’s playlist.
