UTC Symphony Orchestra Has Spring Concert March 30 Thursday, March 11, 2021
The UTC Symphony Orchestra
The UTC Symphony Orchestra will present its Spring Concert as a free livestreamed event with no audience on March 30 at 7:30 p.m. The link is https://livestream.com/utc/symphonyconcertspr21
Review for the performance:
The concert will open with award-winning local composer Ethan McGrath’s Fantasia on Sacred Harp Tunes. It is a hauntingly beautiful work that incorporates tunes from the songbook The Sacred Harp, which was compiled from songs of the early American shaped-note tradition that migrated from New England to the Deep South in the 1800’s and still exists. Also on the program are the first two movements of Franz Schubert’s Symphony No. 9 in C Major,“the Great”.
