The MTSU Music Department released their spring 2015 concert schedule.
Unless otherwise specified, the concerts and events will be free and take place in the T. Earl Hinton Music Hall of Wright Music Building on the MTSU campus.
This semester’s schedule promises performances of opera, woodwinds and brass as well as other forms of music by students, faculty and guests.
Guest musicians include William Coleman, Philip Autry and the Stones River Chamber Players.
Student performances are not limited to senior and graduate thesis recitals in addition to on-campus groups such as the Women’s Chorus, Wind Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble, Symphony Orchestra and Concert Chorale.
The Jazz Artist series carries a $10 cover charge, though other performances are free for MTSU personnel.
As many of the concerts will start well after 5:30 p.m., white parking pass areas around the Wright Music Building will be open to students.
