The Cannon Classical Music Series brings the best of local and regional talent to a stellar performance venue The Vega Quartet Student Showcase is the final performance in the Cannon Classical Music Series. Northeast Georgia Mountains Sautee Nacoochee

The Cannon Classical Music Series brings the best of local and regional live classical music to the stage of the Sautee Nacoochee Center. In this intimate, 98-seat theatre, there is no bad seat and the execution and vibrancy of every performance rings true.

The Emory Youth Chamber Program (EYCP) provides intensive small ensemble training to young Atlanta-area pianists and string players. Students are generally 10-18 years old and are placed in groups of two to five musicians. Over the course of the semester groups receive eight coaching sessions from members of the Vega Quartet and participate in masterclasses with the Quartet as well as with guest artists.
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, most recently in Baltimore, Chicago, Nashville, Sacramento, Berlin, San Miguel, and the Brahmssaal in Vienna's Musikverein.

An artist meet-and-greet follows every performance.
