"A British Winter’s Night" will be an evening of lively traditional British tunes and ballads. From the popular Vaughan Williams "English Folk Song Suiteto the rousing tunes of "The Irish Washerwoman" and "Country Gardens," this evening is sure to delight!

This concert will also feature our newly formed Andrews Brass, an ensemble of student musicians. The Andrews University Wind Symphony, under the direction of Denisse Santos-Gooden will take the stage at the Howard Performing Arts Center on Jan. 31, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. This is a change from the original time of 8 p.m. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the SMC Brass Band will not be able to join us this year. We hope you choose to start off your new year with toe-tapping tunes and swaying sweet melodies! Tickets are available at howard.andrews.edu.
