Atlanta’s concert calendar lists an Emory University Symphony Orchestra and Chorus Family Weekend performance on Friday, October 23, at 8 p.m., with free admission. The venue is the Schwartz Center’s Emerson Concert Hall on North Decatur Road.
For a low-cost evening, a university concert can be a better surprise than another crowded bar. You get a substantial ensemble in a dedicated concert hall and the chance to hear repertoire you might not choose from a streaming playlist.
Free does not always mean walk-in seating. Check the Schwartz Center’s event calendar for reservations and the exact program before driving over.
What to do: Check the Schwartz Center’s Friday 8 p.m. program and whether free tickets require advance reservation.
