Students invited to join UTC On the Move
Thanks to all who came out this week to support our first 2000 step 
noon walks.  Remember we will continue to offer guided 2000 step walks 
each weekday for the next 2 weeks, so please consider joining us.  We 
will leave each day promptly at 12:10 from the new covered entrance of 
the UC (beside Maclellan Gym).  We have four courses marked off with 
different pace and intensity levels to accommodate individual 
preferences.  Copies of the course maps are available so you can walk 
on your own at different times if the noon hour isn't a convenient time 
for your schedule.

We hope to see you at noon each day for the next two weeks that your 
schedule permits, and that you will encourage your fellow students to 
join us.

Music Department celebrates Latin American music
In celebration of Columbus Day (Día de la Raza) the UTC Department of 
Music will present a Faculty Concert featuring pianist Sin-Hsing Tsai. 
Dr.Tsai will perform a captivating recital of music by Latin American 
composers from the 19th and 20th centuries, on Saturday, October 9 at 
8:00 p.m. in the Roland Hayes concert hall. The program includes works 
by Argentinian composers Julián Aguirre, Alberto Ginastera, and Carlos 
Guastavino; Heitor
Villa-Lobos from Brazil; Amadeo Roldán from Cuba; and Carlos Chávez 
from Mexico. These colorful and imaginative composers range in style 
from
Romantic, to nationalistic utilizing folk music and dance idioms, to 
modern. One of the works on the program, Ginastera's Sonata, is a 
favorite
selection for international piano competitions. Admission to the 
concert is free, and the facility is wheelchair accessible.
Dr. Tsai has concertized in Asia, Europe, North and South America, and 
has collaborated with many prominent musicians on both sides of the 
Atlantic.
She has participated in several music festivals in the States and 
abroad, and has premiered works by composers from Taiwan, Iran, 
Germany, France,
England, and Cuba. Her excellence as a pianist has been recognized with 
Performance Awards, a Gold Medal, and other honors.
Dr. Tsai has lived and studied in four countries: Taiwan, Argentina, 
Germany, and the United States, and speaks four languages. With so many 
positive experiences in so many places around the world, she feels a 
tremendous responsibility for preserving the identity of different 
cultures and presenting their rich heritage to a wider public.
The entire Chattanooga community is invited to this marvelous 
opportunity to hear some wonderful music.

There will be a Sacred Harp instruction class on November 14, at 2 PM 
in Room 310 of Cadek Hall.  The class is free, and all are welcome.  
Sacred
Harp singing is 'a capella' and is sung from a special hymn book which 
uses shaped notes.  You do not need to know how to read music.  Sacred 
Harp was featured recently in the movie 'Cold Mountain'.  If you want 
to know more about the music, go to www.fasola.org.

This will not be a regular singing.  The participants will learn about 
singing the shapes/recognizing the intervals and will work at whatever 
pace
is needed.  There will be hymnbooks available to use for the class.

If you can't get to this class, there are more scheduled for  Jan. 16 
and Mar. 13.
