UPCOMING: MARIAN ANDERSON
STRING QUARTET
In residence from Nov. 5 - Nov. 7
The acclaimed Marian Anderson String Quartet is coming to Chattanooga Nov. 5 – 7, 2025. This ensemble has performed across the United States in venues like Alice Tully Hall and the National Gallery of Art as well as universities, churches, schools, and soup kitchens. Winners of three prestigious national awards, they have engaged audiences from young children through adults of all ages. Their residency at UTC is sponsored by the Ruth S. Holmberg Professor of American Music, the Division of Access and Engagement, the Department of Music, and Africana Studies.
The Marian Anderson String Quartet will offer a concert on Friday, Nov. 7 at 7:30 p.m. that is free and open to the public. The location is Cadek Recital Hall, an accessible facility with free parking in a garage behind the building (Lot 12, on Vine Street). In addition to their concert, the Quartet will interact with four different classes in two departments at UTC on Nov. 5-7, as well as a visit to a local high school.
We look forward to welcoming both our new students and returning students.
