The Chinese tradition of Teacher's Day is a tribute to all teachers, but more specifically, Chinese philosopher Confucius.
University Carollinist Margo Halsted will play the Ming Dynasty version of six Confucian ceremonial tunes from the 14th century. Some say Halsted's performance will be the first performance of this music on bells in the United States.
The performance can be heard on Sept. 29, from the Burton Memorial Tower at 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. and at the Lurie Memorial Tower on North Campus at 1 p.m.
The weekend's events, dedicated to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, will involve three performances and a day of educational events for interested students. The orchestra will play arrangements of pieces from several composers, including Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Beethoven and Schumann.
The concerts are slated to begin at 8 p.m. in Hill Auditorium. Tickets for all shows are still available. The free educational events will be held at the School of Music on Friday and Saturday.
The group hopes to raise $40,000 to aid in supporting patients, caregivers and families of those who suffer from the disease and provide educational services about Alzheimer's.
Prizes will be awarded to individuals and teams who collect the most donations. Registration forms are available throughout Ann Arbor.
The walk, sponsored by a variety of local businesses and organizations, is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m.
Associate Professor of Anthropology at Oregon State University Nancy Rosenberger is scheduled to present her lecture, "Young Single Women in Japan: Making Selves Between Demographic Alarm and Global Affluence."
The discussion is scheduled for 12 p.m. on Thursday, in the Lane Hall Commons Room.
The group is sponsored by Anxiety Disorders Anonymous. The location and time for meetings have not yet been decided.
ADA will also offer free depression screenings on Oct. 9, at their center in West Bloomfield as an outreach event during Mental Illness Week.
