Artists at their Best: Spivey Hall’s Sam Dixon on their New Season

Beatrice Rana was the Silver Medalist and Audience Award winner at the 2013 Van Cliburn Competition. She opens Spivey Hall’s 2014-15 season.

Spivey Hall

Spivey Hall, located 25 minutes south of Atlanta on the campus of Clayton State University, is an intimate performance venue well-known for its superior acoustics. Classical and jazz artists love to perform here because “they know they can do their best work at Spivey Hall.” That’s according to Sam Dixon, the Hall’s Executive and Artistic Director. Dixon is responsible for booking the Spivey Series concerts, and his keen ear is appreciated by performers and audience alike. Lois Reitzes recently spoke with Dixon and asked him how he curates each new Spivey season.

Beatrice Rana opens the 24th Spivey Hall concert season this Sunday (September 28, 2014) at 3 p.m. The Hall is a quick drive down I-75 and parking is free.
