Part of the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra’s 2018-2019 Chamber Classics Series.

The KSO’s last Chamber Classic concert of the season offers a range of beautiful performance for all listeners. The program is led under the baton of Aram Demirjian. Mozart’s “Symphony No. 36 (‘Linz’)” is followed later by Copland’s “Quiet City,” a mournful movement featuring musicians Claire Chenette and Philip Chase Hawkins. Claire Chenette joins KSO as a reigning member of the orchestra and graduate of a Bachelor of Arts degree in oboe performance from Oberlin Conservatory, and a Masters of Fine Arts in music performance from California Institute of the Arts. The performance also features Phillip Chase Hawkins, KSO member and recipient of a Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees from the Eastman School of Music. Both Chenette and Hawkins have been with the KSO as principal leaders of their instrument for five years.

The ninth annual McClung Museum Civil War Lecture Series will be held once a month on Sundays at 2 pm in the museum auditorium. McClung Museum Civil War Curator, Joan Markel will shed light on the individual lives of Knoxvillians involved in the war.

This month’s lecture is, “Knoxville’s Civilian War, The Common Man.” Young men in this category were generally from working class families; their stories come to light because of well-documented military record, supplemented by diaries, letters and books detailing war-time routines and ordeals. When the fighting ended many former rebels never returned, going west or to the Deep South; many former Union soldiers moved permanently to Knoxville to prosper with the town in the second half of the 19th century.

Knoxville Handel Society is presenting its Spring Concert at the beautifully appointed and spacious First Baptist Church at 510 W. Main Street on April 28 at 6:00 PM. This light-filled sanctuary with wrap-around balcony is a prime venue to host a program featuring organ, full orchestra and bagpipes. The opening selection will bring goosebumps as a piper processes to the front with strains of the mighty Highland Cathedral. He'll be joined by magnificent organ, then full orchestra. Soul-stirring and regal, it will set the stage for the opening choral piece, Christ the Lord is Risen Today, as we lift voices and instruments to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

Many familiar hymns include How Great Thou Art, Amazing Grace (with bagpipes), Great is Thy Faithfulness, Battle Hymn of the Republic, Lord's Prayer by Malotte, When I Survey the Wondrous Cross, among many others. Several pieces include audience participation, for a more interactive experience of choral music. Soloists for this concert are gifted members of Knoxville Handel Society.

Make plans to attend this inspiring concert of hymns and anthems. With magnificent orchestra, organ and bagpipes it will be an experience of profound depth and extravagant praise.

April 28 at 4:00PM Devan Jones & the Uptown Stomp will be starting the Smoky Mountain Blues Society's 2019 Blues Cruise season which benefits their Blues in the Schools program. Cruise along the Tennessee River (Loudon Lake) and enjoy listening to amazing blues music!

Devan Jones brought the Uptown Stomp together as a band in early 2013. The primary sound started as Swangin' Blues, Ragtime and Jazz from the 1930s through the 1950s.

While continuing to evolve, Devan Jones & the Uptown Stomp have settled into a sound reminiscent of the Rhythm and Blues artists of the 40's and 50's such as Roy Brown, Wynonie Harris, Guitar Slim, Ray Charles, T-Bone Walker and B.B. King while still keeping an ever expanding repertoire drawing from great American music such as Traditional Jazz, Swing, Jump and Chicago Blues.

Boarding at 3 pm, cruising from 4 pm to 7 pm on the beautiful Tennessee River!

Tickets $16 for members, $20 for non-members, $25.00 day of show.
