The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Symphony Orchestra will present a concerto concert at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 4, in the UTC Fine Arts Center’s Roland Hayes Concert Hall. The concert is free and open to the public.
Free parking is available in the adjacent Lupton Hall parking garage. Both the parking garage and the Roland Hayes Concert Hall are handicap accessible.
“Our annual Concerto Concert is a wonderful opportunity to highlight the work of some of our top music students, and the pieces to be performed are both exciting and beautiful,” UTC Symphony Orchestra conductor Sandy Morris said.
The featured UTC concerto students include a pair of Chattanooga High School Center for Creative Arts graduates, sophomore Bradley Bee and junior Ivy Smith. Both Bee and Smith are piano performance and pedagogy majors.
- Bee will perform “Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor Op. 18, 1st movement” by Sergei Rachmaninoff.
- Smith will perform “Piano Concerto in A Minor Op. 16, 1st movement” by Edvard Grieg.
- Senior soprano Rose Carroll, a music therapy major, will perform “Song to the Moon” from “Rusalka” by Antonín Dvořák. Carroll is a graduate of Loudon (Tennessee) High School.
- Junior baritone Owen Langford, a vocal performance major from Murfreesboro, Tennessee (Siegel High School), will perform “Avant de quitter ces lieux” from “Faust” by Charles Gounod.
“The themes to both of the piano concerto movements have been used for many purposes and will be recognizable to many. Both Bradley and Ivy perform these difficult works impressively,” Morris said. “The vocal arias are beautiful, and Owen’s and Rose’s renditions are filled with emotion. We look forward to an exquisite collaboration between orchestra and soloists.”
The 50-member college/community UTC Symphony Orchestra includes University music majors and non-majors, UTC music faculty members, area music educators and other amateur and professional musicians from the region.
Location: The UTC Fine Arts Center is at the intersection of Dr. Roland Carter Street (formerly known as Vine Street) and Palmetto Street on the UTC campus.
