I photographed the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra as they performed a Beatles tribute concert at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Alpharetta for a Three of a Kind photo feature on music venues for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Saturday, July 21, 2012. The 12,000 seat amphitheatre was built in 2008 and sits on 45 acres near North Point Mall. The 60 members of the ASO that performed for the tribute concert were conducted by Martin Herman. The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, which is in its 67th season, performs at the venue during the summer months.
