The Donna and Marvin Schwartz Center for Performing Arts at Emory University is a home for students, faculty, and world-renowned guest artists to combine their talents and hard work in order to share culture, beauty, and provocative work. The arts are among the most exalted and enduring achievements of civilization, and Emory University is proud to provide a place where cultivation of the arts can thrive.
Each year the Flora Glenn Candler Concert Series brings internationally-renowned artists to the Schwartz Center. Candler artists range from large ensembles such as the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Czech National Symphony Orchestra to solo artists like violinist Daniel Hope and mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato.
The artists come from a variety of musical genres including everything from traditional groups, such as Jerusalem Quartet, to contemporary artists, like jazz bassist and singer Esperanza Spalding. The series is made possible by a generous gift from the late Flora Glenn Candler, a friend and patron of music at Emory University.
