Concerts at Naugatuck Valley Community College Open to Community

Both concerts are free of charge.

Student and faculty musicians from Naugatuck Valley Community College will present two end-of-the-term concerts in May; both are open to the community.

The College Chorale, Jazz Ensembles, and private lesson studios will hold their spring music festival on Friday, May 6th, at 7:30 p.m. in the Mainstage Theater. Students from the program will present solo selections, and the jazz groups will be play under the direction of Henry Lugo.

The chorale, conducted by Dr. Andrew Ardizzoia, will perform selections by Barber and Brahms, as well as Schubert’s lyrical and uplifting Mass in G Major with orchestra.

CT Pops!, NVCC’s resident concert band, will present its spring program, “Music Across America”, on Saturday, May 7th, at 7:30 p.m. in the Mainstage Theater. This family-friendly program will consist of popular selections with an American regional twist, including New England sailing songs, Hawaiian favorites, Cajun folk music, as well as medleys from West Side Story, Chicago, and Porgy and Bess.

Both concerts are free of charge; music lovers from the Naugatuck Valley and beyond are encouraged to attend, and bring a friend.
