Community Music School Presents Annual Faculty Concert

On Sunday, November 24th, members of the Community Music School faculty come together to perform an array of chamber music and other works at 3 pm at the Centerbrook Meetinghouse, 51 Main Street, Centerbrook. This annual event offers the community a unique glimpse into the wealth of talent and experience of the Music School’s faculty as they collaborate on a wide variety of selections. The concert is free and open to the public and a meet-and-greet reception immediately follows. At-will donations are gratefully accepted.

Among the works to be performed are Mozart’s Violin Duet No. 1 played by Corey Johnson on violin and Tom Briggs on Marimba; Bugmüller’s Nocturnes No. 1 and 2 played by Christine Coyle on cello and Francesco Barone on guitar; CMS Music Director Tom Brigg’s original work “It’s Only a Dream” played by Andrew Sherwood on alto sax, Kevin O’Neil on guitar, Tom Briggs on piano, Matt McCauley on bass, and Marty Wirt on drums; and much more!

The program will conclude with a tribute to the legendary composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein in honor of his two-year Centennial Celebration. The CMS instrumental faculty will perform a medley from Bernstein’s most famous work West Side Story arranged by CMS Music Director Tom Briggs.
