Sewanee Summer Music Festival has a number of events in the coming week that will be of interest to community members and music lovers.
At 4 p.m., on Saturday, June 28, there will be a student chamber concert in Guerry Garth. At 7:30 p.m., the faculty artist series will continue in Guerry Auditorium.
The Cumberland Orchestra will have a concert at 2:30 p.m., Sunday, June 29. It will be followed by a concert by the Sewanee Symphony Orchestra at 3:30 p.m. Both events will be in Guerry Auditorium.
Members of the SSMF will perform at the Monteagle Sunday School Assembly at 8:15 p.m., Tuesday, July 1.
SSMF will be celebrating the Fourth of July with its annual Patriotic Celebration Concert at 7:30 p.m., Friday, July 4, in Guerry Auditorium. Coordinator and artist-faculty member Eric Bubaz is making preparations to craft a series of music that will appeal to a wide audience.
“The program I’m choosing is mostly a traditional one,” said Bubaz. “It’s meaningful. It goes back to my childhood, and the pieces I connected to as a young person. I hope that it does the same for the audience at the Patriotic Concert… there are both familiar tunes and new surprises.”
The concert program will include selections such as “America the Beautiful,” “American Salute,” “1812 Overture” and “Lincoln Portrait,” among others. SSMF artist-faculty member Mark Babbitt will conduct the group. The Brass Ensemble will be playing at the flag raising ceremony in Abbo’s Alley at 8 a.m., followed by the SSMF Strolling Band as part of Sewanee’s Fourth of July Parade on University Avenue at 2 p.m.
