Clayton State University’s world-famous Spivey Hall will open its 2009 Spring Bach Festival on Sunday, Mar. 29, with the complete Brandenburg Concertos, BWV 1046 – 1051, performed by London's top-notch 22-member period-instrument ensemble, the Academy of Ancient Music, under the direction of harpsichordist Richard Egarr.
The 3 p.m. performance marks the Spivey Hall debut of the Academy of Ancient Music and will be preceded by a pre-concert talk at 2 p.m. One of the world's first early-music ensembles, the Academy of Ancient Music is now in its fourth decade as one of the world's finest, and "with Richard Egarr's brilliance as its music director," reports the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, "this orchestra is playing better than ever." Complimentary intermission refreshments will complete the afternoon's musical feast.
Tickets to this performance are $60 (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).
A unit of the University System of Georgia, Clayton State University is an outstanding comprehensive metropolitan university located 15 miles southeast of downtown Atlanta.
