All afternoon today, in Edge Recital Hall, the finals of the saxophone quartet competition portion of the NASA conference take center stage.

The UGA Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Mark Cedel, plays Mahler's Symphony No. 5 tonight at 8 p.m. in Hodgson Concert Hall at the Performing Arts Center.

If you're walking the corridors of the Hodgson School over the next three days and you love the saxophone, you're in heaven. They're everywhere. Performing, rehearsing, giving lessons, taking lessons, judging, being judged, warming up, sitting out front of the building in the sun...

Notwithstanding, indeed. University to close at 2 p.m. today.

Two great concerts in the HHSOM today, snow notwithstanding: The UGA Mallet Ensemble, under the direction of new percussion faculty member Scott Pollard, performs at 6 p.m.
