The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra has sold out several concerts in past weeks and is expected to do the same in the next.

However, after intermission at Saturday’s Symphony Hall concert, Assistant Conductor Stephen Mulligan had to step in for the ailing Spano, and he also led Sunday’s entire program at the ASO’s University of Georgia concert.
