Percussionist Dr. Monte Coulter III will give a faculty recital on Saturday at UTC.Saturday night’s faculty recital featuring percussionist Dr. Monte Coulter III is as much about the passage of time as it is about keeping time.
Coulter, who has been teaching percussion at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga for 37 years, said though he has done 10 recitals during his tenure, this is the first recital for him since he broke his elbow while rollerblading in his own driveway 15 years ago, and it is a chance to showcase the journey he has undertaken since.
“This program has taken 15 years to be ready for and six months to prepare for,” he said.
In addition to his teaching gig, Coulter played percussion with the Chattanooga Symphony & Opera for 34 years over a 36-year period (he took time off after the accident that broke his elbow and to get his Ph.D) before retiring last year.
