The South Georgia String Project is a joint venture of the VSU Department of Music and the Valdosta Symphony Orchestra. It provides “an after-school music program where students can easily access low-cost stringed instrument instruction,” as well as “a valuable, mentored teaching experience for music students at VSU.”
The American String Teacher Association named the South Georgia String Project the 2011 National String Project of the Year.
The Fine Arts Building is located at the intersection of Brookwood Drive and Oak Street.
Parking will be available in the surface lot next to the Fine Arts Building and across Oak Street next to the multi-level parking deck.
