An experienced financial executive, Samuel Brice Hall has served as director of investor relations with Piedmont Private Equity since 2011. Outside of his professional endeavors, Samuel Brice Hall regularly supports the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (ASO).
The 2020-21 season will be the 20th year Robert Spano serves as the ASO's music director, and it will also be his last. In January, Spano announced plans to conclude his lengthy tenure at the Orchestra's helm in three years and assume the position of Conductor Laureate of the ASO. The ASO will celebrate its 75th anniversary during the 2019-20 season, and Spano is only one of four individuals to serve as its music director.
Since joining the ASO, Spano has been responsible for hiring more than 40 percent of its current members and has mentored multiple assistant directors who have gone on to work as head music directors with organizations such as the Oklahoma City Philharmonic, Reno Philharmonic, and Chicago Sinfonietta. He also played a significant role in alleviating the ASO's financial pressures following a pair of work stoppages in 2012 and 2014; along with ASO board member John White, he co-chaired the Musicians' Endowment Campaign, which raised over $27 million toward funding to restore 11 positions in the Orchestra. He also led efforts on six Grammy-Award-winning recordings and earned the American Composers Forum Champion of New Music Award.
