Question: What do Johann Sebastian Bach and the NFL have in common?
Answer: They are both featured in a “bowl” event on Sunday, February 12th, 2023.
Emory’s annual Bach Bowl concert returns in 2024 on Super Bowl Sunday.
As always, the concert starts at 4 p.m. and lasts about an hour.
The concert and game are planned NOT to overlap, so come out on Super Bowl Sunday for the Bach Bowl — a FREE chamber music concert before the big game!
Here’s what you need to know:
- On February 11th, the Vega String Quartet will host and perform in Emory’s annual Bach Bowl.
- The concert begins at 4 p.m. at Emory University’s Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts and will wrap up around 5 p.m. — allowing you plenty of time to get home or to a Super Bowl party before kick-off.
- You don’t need a ticket or reservation, but seating is general admission and you should plan to arrive early enough to walk over to the concert hall from the parking deck.
The Schwartz Center for Performing Arts Is located at:
Emory University
1700 North Decatur Road
Atlanta, GA, 30322
Parking
Free parking is available for this event, at Emory’s Fishburne Parking Deck, which is right next to the Schwartz Center.
If Fishburne is full, use the Lowergate South Park Deck.
You can view Emory’s parking guide with directions to both decks online.

Mozart
Chamber music is instrumental music that was composed for a small number of instruments, rather than a full orchestra. It is played by a small ensemble, like a trio or a quartet — in other words, a group that could easily fit in a palace chamber.
About the Vega String Quartet
The Vega Quartet is Atlanta’s first and only professional string quartet!
This talented group has the added distinction of being Emory University’s Quartet in Residence. The residency is funded in perpetuity, through the Rebecca Katz-Doft Chamber Music Endowment — which means Emory will have a Quartet-in-Residence forever.
The Vega Quartet: Elizabeth Fayette and Jessica Shuang Wu, violins; Yinzi Kong, viola; and Guang Wang, cello.
Many of the quartet’s Emory performances take place under the Emory Chamber Music Society of Atlanta. Since all ECMSA concerts are free, Atlanta is a city where the arts are accessible to everyone.
