Welcome to the Concert Season Dear Friends, It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to the 29th season of the Gwinnett Symphony. On behalf of our Board of Directors, artistic team, musicians, and volunteers, thank you for being a part of this remarkable journey. Your presence and support continue to inspire everything we do.

Titled "Expect the UNEXPECTED", our 2025–2026 season is the most ambitious and adventurous in our history—filled with bold contrasts, unforgettable collaborations, and moments that will move, challenge, and uplift you.

I’m especially excited that this year marks a turning point in our commitment to accessibility and outreach. We’re taking Gwinnett Symphony on the road—making world-class music more available to the diverse and vibrant audiences that make up our region.

From the magnificent stage of Atlanta Symphony Hall to the beautiful Gas South Theater in Duluth, with stops in Lawrenceville and Norcross, we’re expanding access to live symphonic performance like never before.

This year’s extraordinary lineup of masterworks includes Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5, Holst’s The Planets, Copland’s Lincoln Portrait, Arvo Pärt’s Te Deum, Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture, Vivaldi’s Gloria, and Xian Xinghai’s powerful Yellow River Cantata. Alongside these masterpieces, we celebrate our most beloved traditions with the Messiah Sing-Along, our festive Holiday POPS! concert, a glittering Vienna New Year’s Celebration, and the high-energy finale Kings and Queens of Pop, Rock and Soul.

We are also thrilled to welcome Christopher Martin, Principal Trumpet of the New York Philharmonic, as this season’s featured artist. Christopher joins us for a spectacular night of music, performing Arutiunian’s Trumpet Concerto and With Malice Toward None—a deeply moving work composed especially for him by John Williams.

There is truly something here for everyone—entry points for new listeners and rich experiences for seasoned music lovers. I invite you to explore this season with open ears and open hearts, and I sincerely thank you for making our work possible through your presence and support.

This year, the Gwinnett Symphony invites you to expect brilliance, expect joy, and above all—Expect the UNEXPECTED!

Robert Trocina

Artistic Director and Principal Conductor

25/26 Featured Artist Christopher Martin Principal Trumpet New York Philharmonic

Christopher Martin is among the leading trumpet soloists of his generation. Prior to joining the New York Philharmonic as Principal Trumpet in September 2016, he previously held the Principal Trumpet chair at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra from 2005 to 2016, and before that performed with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra from 2000 to 2005.

In March, Mr. Martin will perform John Williams’ With Malice Toward None—a poignant trumpet solo originally composed for him as part of the Lincoln (2012) film score and later performed under Williams’ direction at the National Mall during the Capitol Fourth celebration on July 4, 2013. He will also perform Alexander Arutunian’s Trumpet Concerto, a virtuosic and beloved staple of the trumpet repertoire that highlights his signature lyricism and technical brilliance.

Praised by The New York Times as “brilliant … impeccable” and by The Chicago Tribune for his “effortless understated virtuosity”, Martin is also a devoted champion of new music and education.

He has premiered significant works—such as Christopher Rouse’s Heimdall’s Trumpet —and currently serves on the faculty of The Juilliard School.

Our Conductors

Robert Trocina Artistic Director & Principal Conductor The Life Revealed Chair

Hailed by Germany’s Odenwälder Zeitung as “a brilliant conductor” who “formally lived with the music,” American conductor Robert Trocina has been praised for his “innovative approach to programming” and “deep commitment to music education” by ArtsATL, and described by Frankfurter Neue Presse as “a dynamic conductor with great charisma,” with performances that have "brought audiences to their feet," according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. An accomplished conductor, artistic director, educator, and entrepreneur, he is known for musical leadership that blends emotional depth, stylistic clarity, and collaborative energy across symphonic, choral, operatic, and ballet repertoire Robert Trocina serves as Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of Gwinnett Symphony Orchestra (since 2006) and sits on the Board of Directors of the International Conductors Guild. He is Music Director of the Georgia Ballet (since 2019), Artistic Director and Conductor of the Atlanta Community Symphony Orchestra (since 2024), and Executive Director of New School of Music, which he co-founded in 1997. Since 2018, he has led special cultural exchange “friendship concerts” as Artistic Director with the Korean American Symphony Orchestra and the Atlanta International Symphony Orchestra, leading performances at Atlanta Symphony Hall, the Davis Theatre in Montgomery (AL), and others.

He previously served 14 seasons as Music Director of Northeast Atlanta Ballet, conducting over 150 classical ballet productions including Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, and The Nutcracker; Prokofiev’s Cinderella; and set the music for an original dynamic production of Peter Pan. Trocina made his opera debut with Capitol City Opera, conducting acclaimed productions of Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi and Mozart’s The Impresario. He also served as Associate Conductor of the Atlanta Wind Symphony from 1998–2003.

Notable international conducting appearances have included Principal Guest Conductor of the Starkenburg Philharmoniker in Germany (Neujahrskonzerts Series, 2018 and 2019), guest conductor of the Chernivtsi Symphony Orchestra in Ukraine (2019), and guest conductor of Bad Vilbeler Kammerorchester in Frankfurt (2022 and 2024), where his work on Hindemith’s 1921 silent film score Im Kampf mit dem Berg was a highlight. His 2019 performance in Chernivtsi was noted by the Wilson Center’s Keenan Institute as one of “joyous abandon,” offering “a sharp contrast to the suffering of the pandemic and the war to follow.” Other recent guest conducting appearances have included the Atlanta Philharmonic Orchestra, West Virginia State Philharmonic, and Atlanta Musicians Orchestra. He has performed across the United States, Canada, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Ukraine, and Sweden.

With a deep commitment to music education, Trocina co-founded New School of Music in 1997 and continues to serve as its Executive Director, overseeing instruction for more than 1,200 students annually across five campuses. He led the Gwinnett Children’s and Youth Orchestras from 1997 to 2006, later transforming them into the Gwinnett Symphony Youth Orchestra (GSYO) and launching key initiatives such as the Side-by-Side concerts and the Rising Star Concerto Competition, which give young musicians the opportunity to perform with Gwinnett Symphony. He has overseen the expansion of Gwinnett Symphony to five ensembles serving youth and adult musicians, and initiated a partnership with the International Conductors Workshop and Competition, giving over 15 winning conductors opportunities to guest conduct GSO. A proud alumnus of Kennesaw State and Georgia State Universities, Trocina earned degrees in Music Performance and Instrumental Conducting, respectively. His further development as a conductor has been guided by a number of esteemed mentors, including Patricio Cobos, William Fred Scott, Stephen Byess, and Philip Greenberg. Along with his role on the Board of Directors of the International Conductors Guild, he is an active member of the League of American Orchestras and the Georgia Music Educators Association.

Our Conductors

Gregory Pritchard Music Director & Co-Conductor The Dover and Cook Family Chair

Music Director and Co-Conductor Dr. Gregory Pritchard has been an integral part of the Gwinnett Symphony Orchestra since 2010, and has also served as Music Director of the Gwinnett Ballet Theatre since 2023. Prior to these current posts, he served for five seasons as the Music Director of the Gainesville Symphony Orchestra (GA). He holds a Doctor of Musical Arts Degree in Orchestral Conducting from Michigan State University, where he studied under Leon Gregorian, Catherine Comet, and Elizabeth Green. Dr. Pritchard attributes his refined musical sensitivity to his training in the Musin tradition, having studied with Leonid Korchmar and Peter Gribanov in St. Petersburg, Russia

With a remarkable ability to connect with both audiences and musicians, Dr. Pritchard has garnered extensive conducting opportunities. His prior roles include serving as Music Director of the Opera Company of Mid-Michigan, where he led acclaimed performances of major repertoire including La Bohème, Madama Butterfly, Don Giovanni, and Faust.

He has also held faculty positions at several institutions, including Georgia State University, University of Evansville (IN), Indiana Wesleyan University, Taylor University (IN), Konservatori Seni Halus (Fine Arts Conservatory, Penang, Malaysia), and Hope College (MI). His additional conducting appointments include Associate Conductor of the Kokomo Symphony Orchestra (IN), Music Director of the Holland Area Youth Orchestra (MI), Music Director of the Gwinnett County Youth Symphony (GA), and Assistant Conductor at the Music Festival of Arkansas and Southeastern Music Center (GA). Dr. Pritchard has also guest conducted numerous ensembles across the United States,including the Kansas City Chamber Orchestra (MO), Macon Symphony (GA), Lake Charles Symphony (LA), West Virginia State Philharmonic, Georgia Philharmonic and Alma Symphony (MI).

Dr. Pritchard's career is marked by an impressive collection of awards and recognitions. In 1990, as Assistant Conductor of the Blue Lake International Youth Symphony Orchestra, he conducted performances in Germany, Austria, Hungary, and France, and was selected for a private concert for the Chancellor of Vienna. The Lansing State Journal named him "Exceptional Music Director" in 1997 for his work at the Riverwalk Theater (MI). That same year, he was appointed the first-ever Fellowship Conductor of the Grand Rapids Symphony, leading Family and Special Event performances and covering educational and pops programs. In 2004, he secured first prize at both the International Conductors Workshop and Competition in Macon, Georgia, and the Advanced Conducting Workshop in St. Petersburg, Russia. He was also named a Semifinalist for the National Conducting Institute in Washington D.C. As a result of his competition win with ICWC, he guest conducted the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Congress Orchestra (the orchestra of the Russian Ballet) in 2005. In 2010, he made his Italian conducting debut with the Orchestra da Camera del Friuli Venezia Giulia.

Beyond his conducting roles, Dr. Pritchard is deeply committed to music education. He is a veteran music teacher with Gwinnett County Public Schools in Georgia, sharing his passion for music with his students. In 2002, he made his Carnegie Hall conducting debut with the Brookwood Philharmonic. He has also served as the Fine Arts Curriculum Lead and Department Chair at Gwinnett Online Campus, where he developed a comprehensive online music curriculum. After achieving first place in conducting competitions in both the United States and Russia, Dr. Pritchard was appointed a faculty member of the International Conductors Workshop and Competition in 2005. He now serves as the Artistic Director of the workshop, mentoring dozens of talented conductors annually, many of whom have gone on to conduct prestigious orchestras worldwide, including the San Francisco Symphony, The Philadelphia Orchestra, Detroit Symphony, Cincinnati Symphony, and Toronto Symphony. Critics have lauded Dr. Pritchard's conducting prowess; Wes Sarginson of NBC News Atlanta noted that Gregory Pritchard “brings a sense of humor with his baton,” while K.S. Morrison of the Macon Telegraph described Pritchard as “well-grounded in the art of orchestral conducting” with an interpretive sense that is “tasteful and innovative.”

Our Conductors

Rick Smith

Chorus Music Director & Conductor The Pamela Cook Chair Rick Smith is an active Music Director, educator, and arts entrepreneur. He currently serves as Music Director and Conductor of the Gwinnett Symphony Chorus and Chamber Singers, and as Director of Music Ministries at Johns Creek Christian Church, a position he has held since July 2011. Prior to this, he served for over nine years as Music Minister at First Christian Church of Atlanta (Disciples of Christ) in Tucker, GA. He is also Executive Director of the New School of Music, one of the region’s leading community music education institutions.

Widely recognized for his charismatic podium presence and immediate connection with audiences, Smith brings a vibrant, communicative style to every performance. His conducting is marked by expressive clarity, infectious energy, and an instinctive ability to draw singers and listeners alike into the emotional core of the music.

A lifelong musician, Smith began formal piano studies at the age of seven in a musical household where every family member played an instrument or sang. By age twelve, he was serving as the pianist for his local church, a role he held through high school. His passion for music deepened during his time at Shorter College in Rome, GA, where he earned dual Bachelor’s degrees in Church Music and Music Education. While his primary instrument is piano, his studies also included private voice and extensive choral training under the mentorship of Dr. John H. Ratledge III, a distinguished choral conductor and student of the world-renowned composer Morten Lauridsen. Under Ratledge’s direction, Smith participated in the world premiere of Lauridsen’s Les Chansons des Roses at Carnegie Hall in 1994 and performed with the Shorter Chorale in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1992. Throughout his career, Smith has combined artistic excellence with a strong commitment to community engagement and education. His work reflects a deep understanding of both the choral tradition and the people he serves, fostering inclusive, high-level music-making in every ensemble he leads.

A leading force in music education, Smith co-founded New School of Music in 1997 and continues to lead the organization as Executive Director. Today, NSM operates five campuses across the metro Atlanta area, offering private and group music instruction to more than 1,200 enrolled students. Under his leadership, the conservatory has grown into a cornerstone of community music education, supported by a dedicated faculty and staff of approximately 60 professional musicians and educators. He also maintains an active studio of piano students, many of whom have gone on to study music at major universities and conservatories, and have been recognized with regional honors and top placements in local and state-level competitions.

Smith has held a leadership role with Gwinnett Symphony Orchestra & Chorus since 1997. In 2007, he founded the Gwinnett Symphony Chorus (GSC), which performs regularly with the Gwinnett Symphony Orchestra on several concerts throughout each concert season. The chorus, comprising singers of all levels, presents a wide-ranging repertoire including sacred works, classical masterworks, and selections from film and popular music. In 2020, Smith founded the Gwinnett Symphony Chamber Singers, an auditioned ensemble drawn from the Symphony Chorus that focuses on chamber choral literature, with an emphasis on stylistic nuance, precision, and expressive depth across sacred and secular traditions. Under Smith’s direction, the Gwinnett Symphony Chorus was honored to perform at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City on September 11, 2011, for the 10th anniversary of 9/11. The concert featured René Clausen’s Memorial and was conducted by the composer as part of the Distinguished Concerts International New York (DCINY) series.
