Essex Park and Recreation Summer Concert Series: Middletown Symphonic Band

This was the event description that was submitted: The Middletown Symphonic Band of Middletown, CT, USA has been providing Connecticut residents and visitors with an excellent variety of music since 1979. Middletown native, music educator, and violinist Santo Fragilio founded the Middletown Symphonic Band, which he directed for many years.

MSB has an extensive repertoire: classical and semi-classical pieces, Broadway, jazz, marches, holiday favorites, and traditional concert band music. MSB performs at summer park concerts, town fairs, celebrations, and other festive occasions. Our annual winter holiday concerts, July 4th Fireworks Concert, Essex Summer Concert, Mystic CT Concert, East Hartford’s Riverfront Recapture Concert, Wadsworth Open Air Market Concert, and Labor Day concerts are perennial favorites with our loyal Middletown and Connecticut audiences
