Aside from the Side-by-Side wind ensemble concert that performed on Tuesday, March 5, at 6 p.m. at Harriet Fulton Theatre, there are many other upcoming fine arts events in the month of March.
Chamberfest 2024 kicks off on Thursday, March 14 at 10 a.m., where chamber ensembles will work diligently on music to perform on the Chamberfest 2024 Concert on Saturday, March 16 at 11 a.m. in Harriet Fulton Theatre.

The Student Works Concert is on Sunday, March 17 at 7 p.m. in Blankenship Recital Hall. The Student Works Concert is a program organized by student composers at UT Martin and consists of pieces they have written themselves. The students are entirely responsible for putting together this concert, collaborating with their peers and faculty to rehearse and perform their pieces. Come out and support the future of music compositions and brand-new premieres by UT Martin music students.
Phi Kappa Phi’s 2024 Tomlinson Lecture will feature a musical performance and lecture by Dr. Amy Yeung and Dr. Chan Mi Jean from the Department of Music. There is No Gender in Music: Music Heroines from Baroque Onward will begin at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 19 in Blankenship Recital Hall. “Listening to a piece of music,” notes Dr.Yeung, “no one can tell whether it is written by a man or a woman. Historically, however, women composers have often been treated with skepticism, disdain and denigration, especially for women of color.” Presented in the form of a lecture-recital, the event will present songs by women who distinguished themselves and made significant contributions to Western classical music from the 1600s to the present.
The Spring Percussion Ensemble Performance will take place on Wednesday, March 20 in Blankenship Recital Hall. It’s a once-a-semester concert, so be sure to show your support for the Percussion Ensemble.
There are currently no future events listed in the Visual and Theatre Arts for the month of March, but be on the lookout for events in April.
