Four years ago the Macon Symphony Orchestra took the stage for the last time. This week they returned to the city’s Grand Opera House, thanks to a new collaboration between the young musicians of the Mercer University McDuffie Center for Strings and the seasoned professionals of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.
