In Friday’s (9/2) Great Falls Tribune (Montana), Polly Kolstad writes, “A cellist for the Great Falls Symphony, Thad Suits understands well the language of music. He plays in the Cascade Quartet, and he and his wife Su make up the Mistral Duo. He also teaches students how to play the cello at his Great Falls studio. Next month Suits will speak an entirely different language, one that he also will share with students. On Sept. 13, Suits begins his second year of teaching an Arabic language class at MSU-Great Falls College of Technology. Suits has studied Arabic for eight years and vacationed in Morocco a few years ago, where he immersed himself in the language. … Word of mouth led Suits to MSU-Tech and a teaching position. … Along with teaching the basics of the language, Suits’ also offers an Arabic cultural segment in which he delves into music, the arts and architecture. The semester ends with a sampling of Arabic cuisine.”
