https://concertsatfirst.org/About Atlanta Symphony Brass Quintet
The Atlanta Symphony Brass Quintet began forty-six ago as the “Ceremonial Troupe” of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, having performed for numerous dignitaries including HRH Prince Charles. The Quintet presents an incredibly varied repertoire, from original transcriptions of Renaissance and Baroque music through theatrical pieces and commissioned works by Southeastern composers.

The Vega String Quartet, Quartet-in-Residence at Emory University, is cultivating a new generation of chamber music lovers through dynamic performances and innovative community engagement. The New York Times raved that "[the Quartet’s] playing had a kind of clean intoxication to it, pulling the listener along…the musicians took real risks in their music making" and the L.A. Times praised their "triumphant L.A. debut". They concertize both nationally and internationally. The Quartet's major performing projects at Emory have included performing the complete cycle of Beethoven quartets, as well as pairing Bach’s complete works for solo violin, viola, and cello with the six Bartók quartets. They have also developed a series of "Jazz Meets Classics" programs, bringing the two genres together.
