Opening of the 33rd season of the ECMSA

 The Emory Chamber Music Society of Atlanta (ECMSA) opened its 33rd season Saturday night at the Schwartz Center for Performing Arts. Admission was free, and the house was full.

The performers were the Vega Quartet (Emily Daggett Smith, first violin; Jessica Shuang Wu, second violin; Joseph Skerik, viola; and Guang Wang, cello), joined by guest artists Zuill Bailey, cello, and Yinzi Kong, viola. The Vega Quartet, Emory University’s resident string quartet, is celebrated internationally for its vibrant performances and commitment to both classical and contemporary repertoire. Zuill Bailey is a Grammy Award–winning cellist with more than 20 acclaimed albums, including the 2017 Grammy-winning recording of Michael Daugherty’s Tales of Hemingway. He also serves as Artistic Director of El Paso Pro-Musica and is a passionate advocate for music education.
