UTC Live!
UTC Live! is the successor to the performing arts series formerly known as the Patten Performances, which was inaugurated by the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 1980 as the Dorothy Patten Fine Arts Series, in honor of one of Chattanooga’s most famous performing artists.
UTC Live! seeks out engaging performances from noted artists that are out of the mainstream. This year’s four events include extraordinary story-telling experiences along with songwriting and musical performance of the highest order.
