Mercer University’s Robert McDuffie Center for Strings adapts to virtual lessons and performances
One of Mercer’s most acclaimed programs, the Robert McDuffie Center for Strings, faces a unique challenge completing this semester.
Senior violin performance major Evan Hjort said the three main pillars of how the McDuffie Center structures its coursework are solo work, chamber music or small ensembles of 3-6 people, and orchestra. Several instructors, including many visiting faculty members, teach classes, which gives the McDuffie Center an unusually comparable ratio of students to faculty.
