Acclaimed violin soloist, Robert McDuffie, originally from Macon, Georgia, will perform Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D Major, Symphony No. 1., at the UGA Performing Arts Center in Athens Sunday afternoon with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. This promises to be a fantastic afternoon of classical music in Athens. Why do we mention this on remhq.com? Apart from the fact the Robert is bringing his outstanding talent to town, he and Mike Mills have a special connection. The two musicians, whose paths originally crossed in Macon, have been friends for a long time, and Mike also happens to be a percentage owner of Robert’s storied 1735 Guaneri del Gesu violin, formerly played by Niccolò Paganini, the famed Italian violinist of the 19th Century.
