Mercer’s Fabian Concert Series makes its Spivey Hall debut

Spivey Hall hosted an important first as the Fabian Concert Series made its debut at the venue. The series has been associated primarily with the Mercer University Townsend School of Music in Macon, home of the Robert McDuffie Center for Strings. Its appearance in Morrow brought the series’ distinctive blend of performance and mentorship to a broader Atlanta-area audience. Some 50 to 60 patrons were able to enjoy a world-class chamber ensemble originating from their own area.

Curated by Amy Schwartz Moretti, Artistic Director of the McDuffie Center, the evening reflected the program’s emphasis on collaboration across generations. The internationally recognized Ehnes Quartet performed alongside pianist Orion Weiss, joined by select McDuffie Young Artists.

The Ehnes Quartet consists of James Ehnes (violin), Amy Schwartz Moretti (violin), Che-Yen Chen (viola), and Edward Arron (cello). Each member maintains an active international career as a soloist and chamber musician, and the ensemble frequently collaborates in performances connected with the McDuffie Center’s educational mission.
