Schwartz Center for Performing Arts

Celebrate the opening of the DeKalb Symphony Orchestra's 62nd Season on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, with a special performance at the Schwartz Center for Performing Arts. This exciting Opening Night marks the orchestra's first performance at Schwartz Center for Performing Arts, a milestone in the DeKalb Symphony's history and an opportunity for audiences to experience the orchestra in one of metro Atlanta's finest concert halls, renowned for its exceptional acoustics and elegant setting.
The evening begins with Eugène Gigout's Grand Chœur Dialogué, a jubilant and majestic work whose brilliant fanfare-like character and festive spirit provide a stirring welcome to a new season. Rich in color and ceremonial grandeur, it sets the stage for an evening of extraordinary music.
Internationally acclaimed Spanish-Dutch pianist Albert Cano Smit joins the orchestra for Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1, one of the most beloved and exhilarating works in the classical repertoire. Praised by Le Devoir as "a moving young poet," Cano Smit is celebrated for his captivating performances, storytelling artistry, and nuanced musicality. Winner of the 2019 Young Concert Artists Susan Wadsworth International Auditions and the 2017 Walter W. Naumburg Piano Competition, he has appeared with leading orchestras throughout North America and Europe and has earned international acclaim for performances that combine extraordinary virtuosity with profound musical insight. His artistry is an ideal match for Tchaikovsky's masterpiece, whose iconic opening, soaring melodies, intimate lyricism, and breathtaking technical brilliance have captivated audiences for generations.
The concert concludes with Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 9, a work that delighted and puzzled its first audiences. Expected to compose a monumental victory symphony celebrating the end of World War II, Shostakovich instead delivered a compact, witty, and brilliantly orchestrated masterpiece filled with sparkling humor, playful irony, and moments of lyrical reflection. Brimming with energy and imagination, the symphony reveals the composer's unmistakable voice while offering a fresh and unexpected conclusion to an evening of celebration, virtuosity, and musical discovery.
Join the DeKalb Symphony Orchestra as we launch Season 62 with a memorable Opening Night celebrating an unforgettable evening of symphonic masterworks, an internationally acclaimed guest artist, and the orchestra's historic first performance at Schwartz Center for Performing Arts. Tickets available at <a href="https://tickets.arts.emory.edu/dso62opening." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">tickets.arts.emory.edu/dso62opening.</a>

Atlanta Woman-Owned Firm Addresses Women's Apparel Needs

Alexis S Intimates

As awareness grows around women's health, body positivity, and inclusive sizing, Atlanta-based Crescent Consulting Group, Inc. and its manufacturing division, SWH Apparel, are helping fill a longstanding gap in the apparel industry. Founded by entrepreneur Sumiyyah Rasheed, the minority woman-owned company specializes in designing and manufacturing products for curvy women, post-surgical patients, and women experiencing the physical changes associated with perimenopause. With more than 25 years of experience in apparel development and technical design, the company focuses on creating garments that combine comfort, support, and confidence. Based in the Atlanta metropolitan area, SWH Apparel develops large-cup intimate apparel, post-surgical support garments, wellness apparel, and technical apparel solutions. The company is also the manufacturer behind AlexisS Intimates, a woman-owned lingerie brand designed specifically for curvy women seeking stylish, supportive lingerie and large-cup bras. "We recognized that many women were being underserved by traditional apparel manufacturers," said Rasheed. "Our goal is to create products that fit properly, provide support, and help women feel confident at every stage of life." Unlike many apparel companies focused primarily on fashion trends, SWH Apparel emphasizes fit, function, and technical product development. The company also remains committed to domestic manufacturing and workforce development within the Atlanta region. "Manufacturing creates opportunities," Rasheed said. "It develops skills, creates jobs, and strengthens communities." As demand grows for inclusive sizing and specialized wellness products, Crescent Consulting Group, SWH Apparel, and AlexisS Intimates continue to invest in innovation while serving women whose needs have often been overlooked.

Higher Calling Christian Academy

Higher Calling Christian Academy (HCCA) is a faith-based learning community located in South DeKalb County dedicated to helping children grow academically, socially, emotionally, and creatively in a safe and nurturing environment. Our Summer Camp 2026 theme, “Choose Your Adventure: A Summer of Discovery at HCCA,” gives families the flexibility to enroll their child for the entire summer or select individual weeks based on their child’s interests. Throughout the summer, campers ages 5–12 will experience engaging, hands-on learning through themed weeks focused on gardening and sustainability, STEAM exploration, sports and teamwork, entrepreneurship, leadership, and creative discovery. Campers will participate in exciting activities including outdoor exploration, science experiments, engineering challenges, team games, creative arts, field trips, and youth business projects. A strong focus of our summer program is literacy and enrichment. Campers will participate in daily reading and enrichment activities designed to strengthen comprehension, creativity, communication, and critical thinking skills. As part of our literacy initiative, campers will visit the local public library twice each week to participate in summer reading opportunities, explore new books, and develop a love for reading and learning. What makes HCCA unique is our commitment to combining fun, enrichment, and purpose in a supportive Christian-centered environment. We strive to support the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development of every child while encouraging creativity, confidence, leadership, and exploration. Families appreciate our flexible enrollment options, affordable pricing, extended hours from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., three meals provided daily, and CAPS acceptance. Our goal is to create a summer experience where children are not only cared for, but inspired to learn, grow, build friendships, and create lasting memories.
