That's when a woman's body is found under a slab of ice left by the outgoing tide."
Changing Tides is KD Mason's second novel. From the book: "This taut page-turner in the Jack Beale mystery series is set against the beautiful backdrop of coastal New Hampshire and the azure waters of Belize. Jack Beale once again risks it all to save his beloved Max from a wealthy yachtsman who has swept Max off her feet, but is not who he appears to be."

UNH Fall Orchestra Festival
On Saturday, October 15th, the UNH Orchestra will host over 80 high school string players in the 2011 UNH Fall Orchestra Festival. The event is also co-sponsored by NHASTA, the New Hampshire chapter of the American String Teachers Association. The festival will provide the high school musicians the opportunity to rehearse and perform with UNH woodwind, brass, and percussion sections, under the leadership of Dr. David Upham and Dr. Mark Latham. A free public concert will be given that evening at 7pm in the Johnson Theater in the Paul Creative Arts Center.
Students applied for the festival in the spring of 2011 through their private studio and public school teachers. The number of applications was overwhelming, and was great enough to merit the creation of two festival orchestras. The Festival Symphony Orchestra will feature over 50 string players with the UNH winds and brass. It will be led by Mark Latham, the conductor of the New Hampshire Youth Symphony, and will perform selections including Aram Khachaturian’s “Waltz” from Masquerade, Alexander Borodin’s In the Steppes of Central Asia, and Jean Sibelius’ Finlandia.
The Festival Chamber Orchestra will be a select group of about 30 high school string musicians, again performing with UNH winds and brass. It will be led by UNH’s Orchestra Conductor, David Upham. The group’s evening performance will feature the first movement of Beethoven’s Symphony No.1, Jean Sibelius’ Valse Triste, and “The Enchanted Garden” from Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite. The evening concert will begin with Dr. Upham also leading the UNH Symphony Orchestra in Glinka’s Overture to Russlan and Ludmilla and selections from Alberto Ginastera’s Four Dances from Estancia.
The concert is free and open to the public.
When: Saturday, October 15 — 7:00pm

UNH Concert Choir in Concert
The University of New Hampshire Department of Music presents the UNH Concert Choir, under the direction of William Kempster. The concert is scheduled to take place in the Johnson Theatre of the Paul Creative Arts Center on Sunday afternoon, October 16, 2011 beginning at 3:00 p.m. They will be presenting a program featuring the music of English composer Jonathan Dove. Dove has been acclaimed in Britain as perhaps the most important composer to emerge in that country since Benjamin Britten, and the Concert Choir, accompanied by pianist and organist Paul Merrill, will perform two of Dove's most substantial recent works, the Missa Brevis, from 2009, and The Passing of the Year from 2000. The Missa Brevis is a terse setting of the Mass text (minus the Credo) for organ and chorus. The Passing of the Year is a major work written for piano and double choir, and was originally commissioned by the London Symphony Chorus. The texts are by a variety of well known English poets, such as William Blake, Thomas Nashe and Alfred Lord Tennyson.
This concert will also mark part 1 of the launch of the new compact disc recording by the UNH Concert Choir and UNH Chamber Singers, Connections. Part 2 of the release will be at the Chamber Singers concert on November 9.
The concert is free and open to the public.
When: Sunday, October 16 — 3:00pm
