Spotlight on the Arts at UGA: November 3 - 11

Picture this:  you're eating lunch at Tate, flipping through a copy of the Red & Black and passing the time until your next class.

You've resigned yourself to the fact that it's just another typically gray, balmier-than-it-should-be November afternoon in north Georgia.

Then, with a start, you suddenly notice the music.  Not piped-in muzak, but something startlingly clear and close.  Turning around, you see a student standing on one of the tables, shredding his violin on a blazingly technical Paganini caprice.

This is UGA's Spotlight on the Arts Festival, a week-long event in early November that will highlight every aspect of arts life on campus at UGA.  Literally every discipline will be represented: drama, literature, dance, painting, sculpting...

And music.  Not only concerts, but campus-wide flash mobs.  The Hugh Hodgson School of Music will have a strong presence during the Festival, including a joint performance by the UGA Symphony Orchestra, University Chorus, and Hodgson Singers of Carl Orff's seminal tour-de-force,  Carmina Burana.

More events will be added as students schedule recitals for the festival, but the musical offerings currently include:

- 11/3: The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra
- 11/6:  UGA Symphony Orchestra, University Chorus, & Hodgson Singers perform Carmina Burana
- 11/6:  The Blue Man Group
- 11/9: Bela Fleck & the Marcus Roberts Trio
- 11/8:  A Southern Wind Serenade with the Georgia Woodwind Quintet and Friends

UGA's Spotlight on the Arts Festival will be held November 3 - 11, 2012.
