Concerto for Violin, Rock Band, and String Orchestra by R.E.M.'s Mike Mills for Robert McDuffie

From the venue:

Inspired by the blurred lines between classical, pop, and contemporary music, renowned violinist Robert McDuffie commissioned a new composition from R.E.M.'s Mike Mills, one of the most prolific songwriter/composers from the world of rock and pop. Mills and McDuffie have been close friends since they were teenagers growing up in Macon, GA, and now these two music legends have embarked on an exciting collaboration with the premiere of Mills's Concerto for Violin, Rock Band, and String Orchestra featuring Fifth House Ensemble. This is a not-to-be-missed Athens concert event. This is a performance at the UGA Performing Arts Center in partnership with The Classic Center Theatre.
