For 20 years, the McDuffie Center for Strings has paired extraordinary musical training with opportunities few undergraduate musicians could imagine.

“If you told most people in the classical music world that you were starting a brand new orchestra in 2021 in Macon, Georgia to play on Monday nights, you would certainly get some looks.” - Robert McDuffie

Now, with alumna Emily Brandenburg stepping into the role of director, the Center begins its next chapter with a familiar face at the helm.

Read “McDuffie Matters” in the latest issue of Macon Magazine.

Labor Day Concert: Monday, September 7 at 3 pm, Fickling Hall, Free Admission - First-come, first-served.
