Small Business Expo & Mirasol Quartet at Howard
Local businesses and award-winning musicians
On Sunday, Sept. 27, at 2 p.m., the Howard Performing Arts Center will present its second annual Shop Small, Shop Local: Small Business Showcase with a concert by Mirasol Quartet, the Gold Medalist of the Senior Winds Division at the 2015 Fischoff Competition.
Small businesses come with many perks—individualized service, the convenience of a location in your neighborhood, and the money spent benefits your community. The Howard Center invites you to join the movement of shopping small and local! Shop Small, Shop Local: Small Business Showcase is a special opportunity to meet the small businesses in our community, learn about the services they offer and products they sell, try out samples, receive coupons and network! The showcase takes place from 2–4 p.m. The first 40 people to attend will receive a complimentary Howard Center tote bag.
The Mirasol Quartet takes the stage at 4 p.m. This saxophone quartet from Texas Tech University was a finalist in the Coleman Chamber Ensemble Competition at the Pasadena Conservatory of Music in 2015, and a national finalist and 3rd place winner at the Music Teachers National Association’s “Chamber Winds” Competition in Chicago in 2014.
Founded in 1987, the Fischoff Grand Prize is an esteemed award given at the largest chamber music competition in the world. As part of the prestigious honor of winning the competition, the Mirasol Quartet is touring America’s Midwest region, stopping at the Howard Performing Arts Center along the way.
Both events are free to attend. You can find more information at howard.andrews.edu or by calling the box office at 888-467-6442.
