Time To Travel

Arriving in the mailbox last week was an attractive brochure for this season’s UT Music Department Faculty Chamber Music Series—Time to Travel. The series will consist of three concerts—September 14, November 2, and February 8—all in the James R. Cox Auditorium on the UT campus at 4pm. The concerts are free.

To be featured in the September concert, “Far Away Places,” will be an eclectic mix of works performed by an equally eclectic mix of faculty performers: Variations on an Original Theme for Organ Duet by Barrie Cabena; Benjamin Britten’s Canticle II: Abraham and Isaac; Ballade Carnavalesque by Charles Loeffler; and Libby Larsen’s The Astonishing Flight of the Gump.

This appears to be a solid offering of works that one doesn’t get the opportunity to hear very often, if at all—and certainly not live. The website for the series is--
