2019 TALCOTT MOUNTAIN MUSIC FESTIVAL VOLUNTEERS

Since its inception, volunteers have been at the heart of the Hartford Symphony’s Talcott Mountain Music Festival. They are the men and women who help you park, who set up and take down the tables, who take your tickets and hand you your program. They serve as the emergency first response team. The hundreds of volunteers are vital to there being a Talcott Mountain Music Festival. Many of these volunteers have been helping to make the Sounds of Summer happen since the inception of the festival. All of us at the Hartford Symphony Orchestra thank them.

ear Visitors and Friends, Welcome to Simsbury, proud home of the Talcott Mountain Music Festival! There is Dnothing better than packing a picnic and listening to great music under the stars. I look forward to these concerts all year and am grateful for the partnership with the Town, the Simsbury Meadows Performing Arts Center, and the Hartford Symphony Orchestra. Steps from where you are sitting is Simsbury’s historic town center with an array of restaurants and shops. From grab-and-go, to quick service, to fine dining, there are lots of places to fuel up before the show or enjoy a nightcap after the last applause. I hope you will take advantage of all that Simsbury has to offer. I’m excited to share that this summer Simsbury is breaking ground on a new park adjacent to our historic Flower Bridge. Along with a pavilion, and picnic tables, we are building a boat launch for canoes and kayaks, connecting our downtown to the Farmington River. This project is expected to be completed in about six months, in time for Simsbury’s 350th anniversary! May 20, 2020 marks the 350th year since the incorporation and naming of the Town of Simsbury. The Board of Selectmen recently appointed members to The 350th Celebration Committee, which is widely representative of the nonprofits and other organizations that make up the fabric of our community. The group is hard at work preparing for a series of events that will take place throughout the year. I invite you to stay tuned and hope you will join us in this year-long celebration. A successful music festival requires a lot of hard work by a lot of people. This inspiring series would not be possible without them. Please join me in thanking the boards and staff of the Simsbury Meadows Performing Arts Center and the Hartford Symphony Orchestra, and the countless community volunteers who are here with us all summer long. I invite you to sit back, relax, and enjoy a great evening of music under the stars.
