Symphony, redesigned with you in mind. The first season of the Macon-Mercer Symphony Orchestra was anything but ordinary. From hip-hop to Haydn, from Otis Redding Foundation students to Carnegie Hall composers, the orchestra was the place to be. The Grand Opera House was filled with the joy of music, the power of the Middle Georgia community and Mercer University’s McDuffie Center Young Artists collaborating with musicians from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. We changed Macon’s music scene with just one season. Join us for Make More Music Mondays and see what the hottest ticket in town is all about.

Jeffrey Turner, conductor

Dvořák Serenade for Strings in E major, Op. 22

Townsend School of Music Concerto Competition Winner

Mozart Symphony no. 41 in C major, K 551, “Jupiter”

The season concludes with the always popular Townsend Concerto Competition winner, along with popular favorites in the canon. Dvořák's elegant Serenade for Strings was composed in just two weeks, but has enjoyed a far longer run in popularity. Then hear "Jupiter," so named due to the stunning scope of Mozart's longest and most complex work, to wrap up a heavenly year of music.
