Without doubt, the greatest bang-for-the-buck in Knoxville’s music scene often flies under the radar of Knoxville concertgoers — the University of Tennessee School of Music’s Guest Artist and Faculty recital series. The events roll on like clockwork when school is in session, represent a wide variety of music, and, most importantly, practically all are absolutely free. Here are September’s events. Note that event times often vary from the expected.
