The UTC Symphony Orchestra will present a free Spring Concert live in the C.C. Bond Humanities Theatre at Chattanooga State Community College on April 10 at 3 p.m. It will also be livestreamed at https://livestream.com/utc/utcsymphonytwoicons
The concert will feature Florence Price’s Mississippi River Suite. Ms. Price studied at the New England Conservatory and headed the music department at Clark University in Atlanta before moving to Chicago and pursuing a career in composition. She was the first African American woman to have a work performed by a major U.S. symphony. This work quotes several spirituals and blends them with jazz tunes and original music to depict the mighty river rolling down past New Orleans into the Gulf.
Next on the program, in honor of John Williams’s 90th birthday, is A Tribute to John Williams.
