“music lovers paradise”
Set on 45 acres of beautifully-landscaped wooded land in Alpharetta, GA, north of Atlanta in Fulton County, the 12,000-seat Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park will seat 7,000 under a roof, and another 5,000 on a lawn area. The venue provides a unique setting for both music lovers and first-time concertgoers.The Amphitheatre has quickly become characterized by its distinctive fan-shaped roof, comprised of a translucent cloth-like material, suspended over a steel-framed structural system. It’s beautiful park-like atmosphere allows concertgoers to enjoy music under the trees, surrounded by a number of large heritage trees, plants, and flowers all native to the park.The state-of-the-art venue – nominated by Pollstar Concert Industry Awards as 2009 “Best Major Outdoor Concert Venue” – serves as the summer home of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. The scope of Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park has brought a new dimension to the region’s seasonal artistic offerings featuring concerts with the internationally-recognized Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, leading popular presentations, as well as an emphasis on community events – including high school graduations, local fundraising events, and collaborations to create family-themed days, high school music concerts, and competitions. Upon the opening of the Amphitheatre in May 2008, the ASO became the only U.S. orchestra to perform and present in its concert hall and in two amphitheatres. For 36 years, the ASO has presented and performed concerts at Chastain Park Amphitheater, the legendary award-winning 6,500-seat venue in Atlanta.Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park is owned by the Robert W. Woodruff Arts Center, Inc., and is operated by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. In addition to the Amphitheatre, Phase II long-range plans for Encore Park for the Arts – established by a consortium of prominent community leaders in north Fulton County – include a performing and visual arts complex and education center.
You can enjoy concerts here either on the lawn or at a table. This is also the location of Alpharetta’s FREE Northside Hospital’s Movies in the Park.
