Outdoor Concerts that Excell: Talcott Mountain Music Festival
Summer is the season for sitting on a green space and looking up at the assemblage of musicians on the stage and appreciating their efforts.
So many small towns hold a weekly night of music al-fresco where local bans get to do their thing and just maybe catch the ear of someone that 'knows a guy' and their careers are established.
While we enjoy the evenings, there is still nothing that we have experienced that can take the place of the concerts offered in July at The Meadows in Simsbury, CT.
For 5 successive, rain permitting, Friday nights starting this week, June 27 the Hartford Symphony Orchestra will perform outdoors in their summer series, The Talcott Mountain Music festival.
The concerts are not free and while the sounds cannot be contained to the Medows, there are thousands of people inside and out enjoying the offerings.
The music itself is trended more to more seasoned people as they will have live bands backed by the HSO, with singers that sound like the original performers of bands, like the Who, Beatles, Sinatra, The Four Tops, and the list goes on.
The concerts this season are the Music of the Bee Gees, with a group from Australia, The traditional Celebrate America which falls most appropriately on Friday evening July 4, and will most likely have close to 10,000 there with the culmination of fireworks.
The complete list of evenings can be found on their site page
We'll drive up, pick up a preordered dinner on the way, and set up the lawn chairs, open the cooler and 'chill'
A few too quick hours later we leave and look forward to the following Friday.
And, as it is a Friday , most assuredly the Flag always finds a way to wave at the most opportune time.
