The UTC community has numerous terrific opportunities to hear good music
for little or no admission fee.

Tomorrow (Friday) night, Jan. 31, at 8:00 p.m., Dr. Jocelyn Sanders (head
of Music Dept.) will perform a recital of lyric music for Horn, accompanied
by Dr. Sin-hsing Tsai, who joined our faculty this year. Dr. Sanders will
also demonstrate the "natural horn," the instrument used by all composers
(and horn players) until rotary valves were invented and added to the
instrument in the 19th century.

Monday February 3, UHON student Michael Hamrick will perform a recital of
music for the Tenor Saxophone, at 7 p.m.

Wed. February 12, at noon, touring violinist Janice Martin (who performed
with Daniel Heifetz' Classical Band) will conduct a master-class, perform a
little, and give an introduction to her Stradivarius Violin.

Thursday Feb. 13 at 1:40, guest artist Robert Black opens the 4th Biennial
Contemporary Music Symposium with a master-class and seminar. Mr. Black is
an internationally known soloist on the double bass, and performs in a
variety of styles, including those requiring electric basses.

On the evening of Feb.13, the UTC orchestra, directed by Mr. Gary Wilkes,
will be joined in performance by the orchestra of Chattanooga Center for
the Performing Arts, at 8:00 p.m.

For a thrilling alternative activity on Valentine's Day, Feb. 14, bring
yourself (and someone else, if possible) to guest artist Robert Black's
solo concert, "cheerful virtuosity," at 8:00 p.m., free of charge, as the
Contemporary Music Symposium continues. His program will include
"Valentine" for bass and theatrical musician, and "The Thundering Scream of
the Seraphim's Delight" for electric bass and video.

"Music from the New South" will be heard on Saturday February 15, with new
works by student composers from Tennessee, Alabama, and North Carolina at
3:00 p.m.; and works by their teachers, all active professional composers,
at 8:00 p.m.

All of these events will take place in the Roland Hayes Concert Hall, in
the Fine Arts Center.

The 4th Biennial Contemporary Music Symposium is presented with financial
support from the UTC Speakers and Special Events Fund, the Cadek Dept. of
Music, and generous local supporters of the arts.
