Henry Sopkin Circle
Ham Smith, Planned Giving Chair
Henry Sopkin, the ASO's first Music Director, is credited with paving the
way for the ASO to become what it is today. Hired in 1944, Brooklyn native
Henry Sopkin came to Atlanta to direct the Atlanta Youth Symphony Orchestra.
Within 10 years, with a budget of $5,000, he developed the youth symphony
into an adult professional organization that has grown into one of the foremost
orchestras in the country. The Henry Sopkin Circle recognizes and thanks our
friends who have included the ASO in their estate plans through planned giving.
Ensuring the ASO's continued distinction among the world's finest symphony
orchestras and its place at the heart of Atlanta's cultural landscape, these
donors share the same unique vision for the future of the ASO as Henry Sopkin
did so many years ago.
Members and guests of the Henry Sopkin Circle enjoy special events and benefits throughout the season, including the Annual Henry Sopkin Circle Luncheon. This year’s luncheon will be held March 10th at the Four Seasons Hotel with special guest Robert Spano.
