The Hodgson Wind Ensemble’s (HWE) will perform their first concert of the 2018-2019 season on Tuesday, September 11, at 7:30 p.m. in Hodgson Concert Hall.

The University of Georgia’s Hugh Hodgson School of Music will open its 2018-2019 Thursday Scholarship Series with a dynamic concert by The University of Georgia Symphony Orchestra (UGASO).

The UGASO is one of the school’s premier ensembles. Performing under the baton of Mark Cedel, the UGASO is dedicated to the study and performance of significant orchestral music, which will be apparent when listening to their program.

Legendary Athens artist Jamie Calkin recently completed a commission to paint the Hugh Hodgson School of Music. The original is 2’x3’ and will hang in the “kiss and cry” area near the stage door of Edge Hall. Prints of the painting are now available on Jamie’s site, and are available in many sizes.
