What's Happening?
The British brass ensemble Septura is set to perform a free concert at Clemson University's Brooks Center on October 28. The program, titled 'American in Paris', features a brass arrangement of George
Gershwin's piece and works by French composers Ravel and Debussy. The concert is part of the Utsey Series, which has been offering admission-free chamber music concerts for 39 years. The series emphasizes education and public service, often including performances for local schoolchildren.
Why It's Important?
Septura's concert at Clemson University underscores the importance of accessible cultural events in promoting education and community engagement. By offering free admission, the Utsey Series makes world-class music available to a broader audience, fostering appreciation for classical music. This initiative aligns with Clemson University's mission of public service, enhancing its reputation as a center for cultural enrichment. The concert also provides an opportunity for local musicians and students to experience high-quality performances, potentially inspiring future generations of artists.
