Three Artists Debut at Spivey Hall, March 6 to March 8

Spivey Hall’s entire weekend of Mar. 6 to Mar. 8 will be devoted to artists making their debut’s at Clayton State University’s world-famous performance facility.

On Friday, Mar. 6, Spivey Hall will celebrate Teacher Appreciation Night with the Terell Stafford Quintet in an 8:15 p.m. concert. A gifted and versatile player with a voice all his own, jazz trumpeter Terell Stafford combines lyricism and a deep love of melody with a spirited, adventurous edge. This uniquely expressive, well-defined musical talent allows Stafford to dance in and around the rich trumpet tradition of his predecessors while making his own inroads.

To thank teachers in the metro Atlanta area for their quality teaching and positive example to students, both inside and outside of the classroom, Spivey Hall will offer one free ticket (pending availability) to all teachers and administrators (current and retired) to this concert. A dessert reception in honor of teachers will follow the performance. To acquire a free ticket to Teacher Appreciation Night, please call the Spivey Hall box office at (678) 466-4200. Teachers may purchase additional tickets at the special rate of $10 each; this offer is subject to availability.

All other tickets to this performance are $40 (50 percent off for Clayton State faculty and staff); Clayton State students pay just $10. For tickets and more information, call the Spivey Hall Box Office at (678) 466-4200. Full-price tickets only are available online at www.spiveyhall.org (a per-ticket service fee applies).

On Saturday, Mar. 7, the Belcea Quartet will make its Spivey Hall debut with an 8:15 p.m. performance, preceded by a 7:15 p.m. pre-concert talk.
The resident quartet of London's illustrious Wigmore Hall from 2001 to 2006, the Belcea Quartet wins fervent praise for its high-energy performances throughout Europe, Asia, Australia and the U.S., as well as for its acclaimed EMI recordings. Romanian native and violinist Corina Belcea-Fisher, English violinist Laura Samuel, Warsaw-born violist Krzysztof Chorzelski and French cellist Antoine Lederlin are the musicians of the Belcea Quartet. Their Spivey Hall debut program features the First String Quartet by English composer, Benjamin Britten, as well as a Haydn quartet and Schubert's emotionally-charged D-minor Quartet, "Death and the Maiden."

Tickets to this performance are $40 (50 percent off for Clayton State faculty and staff); Clayton State students pay just $10. For tickets and more information, call the Spivey Hall Box Office at (678) 466-4200. Full-price tickets only are available online at www.spiveyhall.org (a per-ticket service fee applies).

Finally, on Sunday, Mar. 8, Russian pianist Yevgeny Sudbin will make his Atlanta and Spivey Hall debut in a 3 p.m. concert.
