Clayton State University, Spivey Hall

Spivey Hall fulfills its mission by presenting performances by outstanding international classical, jazz and world-music artists in its acoustically superb, 390-seat recital hall, and through music education programs developed in collaboration with educators, all of which address the needs of the diverse communities it serves.

Spivey Hall first opened to the public in January 1991 as the realization of the vision of Emilie Parmalee Spivey and Walter. Prominent citizens and land developers in Clayton County, The Spivey’s were both great patrons of the arts and wanted to give back to their community. With Mrs. Spivey’s love for music, a renowned organist herself, she decided that the beautiful, wooded ground on the Clayton State University campus would be the perfect place to build a small, elegant concert hall.

Spivey Hall, the accoustically superb concert hall on the CSU campus that seats 396, cultivates a community of artists and audiences who share a passion for the discovery and appreciation of outstanding music through concerts and learning experiences, year round. From day one, you'll find yourself embraced by a culture that values collaboration, creativity, and inclusivity.
