Spivey Hall

This concert hall provides an intimate setting for listening for beautiful music. It is an elegant concert hall with some of the best acoustics available anywhere. I’ve seen some incredible performers there.

Nestled in the Clayton State University campus, Spivey Hall is currently celebrating its 20^th season of high-​brow entertainment. Spivey Hall is a regionally renowned concert hall known for showcasing jazz, classical, and international acts. As such, it is a classy venue that has been praised for its excellent acoustics. Parking is always free, and you can also check their website for the dates of various free concerts. In addition, there are plenty of noteworthy musicians scheduled to perform each year, though those concerts are considerably more expensive than the free shows. Notwithstanding, current CSU students & faculty and groups of 10+ are eligible for significant discounts. If you are a connoisseur of fine arts, you can become a «subscriber» by purchasing tickets to 4 or more events during a single transaction to enjoy special benefits such as preferred seating and other discounts. Also worth mentioning, Coca-​Cola is one of Spivey Hall’s proud corporate sponsors, so attendees are afforded free Coke and Sprite in the lobby during intermissions. If you have time to bask in the somewhat idyllic surroundings directly outside of Spivey Hall, there are a couple of large ponds featuring ducks, swans, and geese. And while the water fowl are a joy to behold, you consequently have to watch your step in certain areas near the entrance lest you step in geese feces. To be fair, if you’ve been to rock venues such as Center Stage, The Tabernacle, or The Masquerade, then you’ve probably had to step over homeless people before walking through the front door. So with exception to avoiding bird excrement, Spivey Hall is a nigh perfect venue to enjoy cultured music, and with its abundance of free concerts, there are shows to fit anyone’s price range.

EXCELLENT venue that’s intimate, comfortable, and has great acoustics. it plays host to musical performances ranging from classical/​chamber to jazz.
keep in mind that it’s exclusively a performance venue and does not offer drink or snack concessions, so eat/​drink up before getting there! :)
