CHARLES IVES 150TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION CONCERTS: WestConn is partnering with the Danbury Museum and the Danbury Music Centre in celebrating the 150th birthday of Charles Edward Ives, Pulitzer Prize winner, CT State Composer and the Father of American classical composition. Born in Danbury, he used the sights and sounds of our community to craft his works which eventually led to international recognition. We are thrilled that international, national and local artists have approached our groups to structure free, engaging performances in honor of the man, the legend, the giant of American composition. This is not a fundraiser, but a friend raiser, a celebratory moment in our shared American experience, and we hope you can be a part of all of this! From 7 to 8:30 p.m. in Ives Concert Hall in White Hall on the Midtown campus. Reserve a seat at https://wcsutickets.ticketspice.com/charles-ives-150-event-
