MACON, Ga. A $300,000 grant from the Peyton Anderson Foundation is helping jumpstart the new Macon-Mercer Symphony Orchestra.
Now, 26 students have the opportunity to work with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.
In 2017, Macon s last symphony orchestra shut down. However, on Thursday, Mercer University and the Peyton Anderson Foundation announced the return of symphony music to Central Georgia.
Mercer University Musician Seido Karasaki said, As a strings player, I think it is an extraordinary opportunity for us.
Karasaki moved from California to play classical music a few years back.
