Experience an Unforgettable Evening this Fall at the Schwartz Center for Performing Arts

Tickets for the Candler Concert Series open the door to a hidden gem on the campus of Emory University. Featuring world-class contemporary and classical music performances in the stunning Emerson Concert Hall, the upcoming 2023–2024 season begins with Jamaican-American violist Jordan Bak. Recently named one of the “30 under 30” rising classical music stars, Bak joins with the Balourdet Quartet on September 22 for a captivating start to the series as the ensemble performs string quintets by Mendelssohn, Mozart, and Brahms.

On October 5, Grammy Award–winning vocal ensemble Chanticleer takes the stage, offering a mesmerizing a cappella experience that the Boston Globe hailed as “breathtaking in its accuracy of intonation, purity of blend, variety of color and swagger of style.” Breathtaking music continues with violin virtuoso Midori and Festival Strings Lucerne under the leadership of Daniel Dodds on November 16. This concert features Beethoven’s

Romance in F Major and Symphony No. 7, among others. About this work, Midori says, “Beethoven’s determination still provides a model for humankind, leading us to recognize the best in our world as we reach toward the many achievements of which we are all potentially capable. Finding my place, as a musician, interpreting several of Beethoven’s masterpieces, grounds and inspires me today, as we all face many challenges ahead.”

Subscription ticket packages are currently available, offering selections from the Candler Concert Series and the Schwartz Artist-in-Residence Program.
