^ @WashJohnGalt, I subscribe to UA’s calendar of events. Try here for all UA events (‘Subscribe’ tab/button at top): http://events.ua.edu/ and you can filter this subscription to get only what category of events you want… or look here for just music-related events: http://music.ua.edu/calendar-of-events/. I’m not sure why that link did not give you what you were looking for, before, but I suspect it was because they were in the middle of some changes.

The SOM webpages went through a substantial update (completed just this week, I believe), and they (whoever ‘they’ are) are making the SOM be tucked under College of Arts & Sciences…which is a shame, because now it is more difficult to find (IMO). (Note that this was not the case w/ University Bands, which is separate to the SOM anyway…long story…) Most students who are interested in music may not think to look for the SOM under the A&S college. Most schools have a separate School of Music (if they have one)…ho hum.

Also, it appears that some information is now missing from the new (‘improved’?) webpages, so this is also a disappointment to me (as a parent). They used to have the Huxford’s complete calendar up there, e.g., and now you have to search by each event/month. The UA Music Calendar is very complete, I give them that! - you just have to wade through every concert date to find what you are looking for! You can always follow the SOM/Music activities on twitter or facebook, as they suggest, but I don’t use either of these media, so I don’t know how reliable those are for keeping up to date with things. If you cannot find what you are looking for, please do voice your thoughts to the SOM folks, and good luck, music listeners!
