This December, the Eastern Connecticut Symphony Orchestra musicians are venturing out beyond the Garde Arts Center main stage.
First off, in honor of the ongoing “Sargent, Whistler, and Venetian Glass” exhibit, the ECSO string trio will be performing at the Mystic Seaport Museum Meeting House on December 8th. Bask in the warm glow of luminary lanterns while enjoying a concert of Italian-inspired music. Tickets include access to the Sargent, Whistler, and Venetian Glass exhibit until 5:00 pm. The hour-long concert begins at 5:30 pm.
Admission is $15 for seaport members, and $30 for non-members. And ECSO subscribers will receive the $15 discounted price by calling 860.572.5331 and mentioning they are a subscriber.
Then, to help us get into the holiday spirit, on December 17th at 2:30 pm, the ECSO brass quintet will be spreading holiday cheer through music! Come join us for a family concert at the beautiful Harkness Chapel, located on Connecticut College’s campus.
The brass quintet will play classics like Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and many more. Choir members from Bennie Dover Jackson Middle School will perform What a Wonderful World, What the World Needs Now is Love and they will join the brass quintet and audience for a sing-along to wrap a bow on the concert. General admission is $8, and tickets information can be found on our website: ectsymphony.com/family-holiday-concert/
