>A great fall week with special arts events is in store for us.  The
>Chattanooga Symphony and Opera explores the waltz in a pair of concerts on
>Thursday and Friday.  Violinist Benny Kim, who has thrilled Chattanooga
>audiences before, will appear with the CSO in  Bruch's demanding "Scottish
>Fantasy for Violin and Orchestra".  Ravel's haunting "La Valse" and
>Strauss's lush "Suite from Der Rosenkavalier" round out the offerings.
>
>The Youth Theatre at the Chattanooga Theatre Centre opens its season with a
>fanciful telling of "Merlin's Tale of King Arthur's Magic Sword", beginning
>this Friday and running weekends through October 28.  Public performances
>take place at 7:30 on Friday evenings and at 2:30 on Saturdays and Sundays.
>Take the kids--they'll love it!
>
>For more theatre treats, check out Family Theatre Workshop's presentation of
>"The Trip to Bountiful."  Horton Foote's moving story of a widow's trip back
>home deals with aging, love, and what's really important in life.  The
>production begins this Friday at Memorial Auditorium's Community Theater.
>In the middle of every Family Theatre Workshop run, the group hosts a
>potluck dinner and discussion of issues raised in the plays they're
>presenting-an interesting way to get audiences even more involved in
>productions.
>
>This weekend also brings a very special celebration at the Chickamauga
>National Millitary Park.  The Roundabout Festival will include Civil War
>re-enactments, story-telling, children's activities, music and home crafts
>from the Civil War period.  Best of all, it's free.  Roundabout also
>celebrates the re-routing of U.S. 27 around the Park, which is expected to
>eliminate some 11 million automobile trips through the Park every year.
>
>Dancers from all over Tennessee will be in Chattanooga this weekend for the
>32nd annual statewide conference of the Tennessee Association of Dance.
>Welcome dancers, and thanks for making Chattanooga your conference site yet
>again!
>
>Speaking of dancers, a special guest will be in town this week to celebrate
>dance and the role of the arts in educating young people.  Jacques
>d'Amboise, whose work has been honored with Oscars and Tonys, will be here
>through the auspices of Ballet Tennessee for several workshops in area
>schools.  Even though Mr. d'Amboise is not scheduled for any public
>appearances, his work here should have some long-term effects as he speaks
>to educators and parents about how vital the arts are in raising happy,
>healthy children who become productive adults.
>
>End the week on a happy note with a trip to the zoo, where you can be
>entertained this coming Sunday at 2:00 by the Chattanooga Youth Symphony and
>Ballet Tennessee.  What better place to hear the "Carnival of the Animals"
>or music from "The Lion King?"
>
>I like to keep ArtsChatt short, but there's just too much going on right
>now.  We've just barely touched on everything happening in the arts this
>week.  For more information on times, locations, and ticket purchasing for
>these and many more of the week's arts events, or to link to other arts
>groups, check our website at www.alliedartschattanooga.org.
