CONCERT POSTPONED!

Regretfully we have to announce another postponement of the Phil Keaggy concert scheduled for April 6, 2025. His agent shared that this delay will be important in giving Phil’s hand longer to heal. The healing process has taken much longer than anticipated; the result, however, will be a better concert experience for his fans. He has rescheduled the concert to Sunday, September 7, 2025. Ticket sales for this concert will start on July 14, 2025. 

For those of you who have purchased tickets to the Phil Keaggy April 6, 2025, concert, we will be contacting you to make arrangements for a refund or a reschedule.

One of the most admired guitarists in music today, Phil Keaggy continues to delight audiences all over the US, performing primarily acoustic shows and occasional concerts with a band.

Scenes of Summer is the theme of the upcoming Wind Symphony Spring Concert. As the semester draws to an end, we begin to think about warmer days, celebrations and festivals, and for some students, going home. This concert celebrates all things summer, featuring pieces such as Summer Dances by Brian Balmages, As Summer Was Just Beginning by Larry Daehn, and the fun march, The Purple Carnival arranged by Frank Erickson.

This concert is unique in that it features some of our student composers. Carlos Lugo, will debut his Danza Fantástica, a piece for piano and Wind Symphony, in this world premiere performance. Also debuting a world premier is Naomi Pelayo Cang with her piece, Mi Hogar Querido. The first half of our concert will conclude with Yohance Mack’s Take My Hand, Precious Lord, a piece composed for the unveiling of the new Martin Luther King Jr. monuments in Benton Harbor and St Joseph, MI.

Join the Andrews University Singer Actor Studio for a comedic evening featuring acts from Britten's ALBERT HERRING and Rossini's THE BARBER OF SEVILLE. This performance will not be live-streamed!

Albert Herring, composed by Benjamin Britten in 1956 is a coming of age story. Young Albert dreams of becoming his own man. The town leaders dream of restoring an emphasis on virtue by restarting The May Festival (aka Blossomtime). These two agendas collide in hilarious fashion! Performed in English.

The Barber of Seville (Il Barbiere di Siviglia) is perhaps the most iconic opera of Gioacchino Rossini, featuring music made more famous by Bugs Bunny in Looney Toons cartoons. Figaro works to help the Count woo Rosina, while Dr. Bartolo and Don Basilio connive plans for an arranged marriage. This comic opera has been thrilling audiences since 1775! Performed in Italian with English titles.
