On Sunday, Feb. 4, 2018, at 7 p.m., Andrews University will host Septura in concert at the Howard Performing Arts Center. Septura brings together London's leading players to redefine brass chamber music through the uniquely expressive sound of the brass septet. In music for voice and piano, Septura explores a transatlantic relationship between Maurice Ravel and George Gershwin who, despite their vastly contrasting musical worlds of French impressionism and American jazz, developed a deep mutual respect for each other.

Septura will open the concert with Ravel's "Mother Goose," charting a course from Debussy's "Preludes" and moving on to Gershwin's "Songbook." They will perform Gershwin's "Three Piano Preludes" and close with "An American in Paris," especially arranged for brass and solo car horns.
