BERRIEN SPRINGS – The Octet Cantabile, one of the foremost singing sensations from Chennai, India, are bringing their sound to the Howard Performing Arts Center at Andrews University on Saturday, May 17. The group of eight mixed voices will perform in English and Indian languages.
The free sacred music concert begins at 7 p.m. While music forms an integral part of the presentation by the Octet, the focus, however, is God and a desire to spread the gospel of peace and love through their singing. In support of that mission, a freewill offering will be collected.
The Octet Cantabile has been making music together since 1994. Their sound ranges from classical with the music of Bach and Mozart to the contemporary sounds of country, reggae and rock and everything else in between. While singing a cappella is their forte, musical accompaniment sometimes rounds out their sound.
