University of Memphis’ Sound Fuzion performs October 24th and November 1st.
The Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music’s fall schedule of performances at the University of Memphis is a mix of concerts, recitals, and events with an emphasis on classical music (very loosely defined), but also with plenty of jazz and occasional dollops of pop, rock, and avant garde.
