Every year, UTC’s Percussion Ensemble kick-off the Chattanooga holiday giving season with “Beat Hunger,” a concert to benefit the Community Kitchen. For more than two decades, this concert has a been a tradition in downtown Chattanooga, attended by UTC students and faculty, as well as a number of non-campus Chattanooga residents.
Chattanooga’s own bucket band, “Funkabuckets,” will perform in the lobby as concert-goers gather for “Beat Hunger.” The program includes standard works from the percussion literature and some more recent transcriptions borrowed from other areas. Program pieces range from six centuries of music and include all manner of unusual instruments, as well as the usual snare drums, timpani, mallet instruments and cymbals. All performers are UTC percussion students and Dr. Coulter’s students.
Admission: 2 non-perishable food items or $2 check donation to the Community Kitchen
