The West End String Quartet Performs at Simsbury Historical Society

The Simsbury Historical Society
introduces a NEW free concert series showcasing Connecticut’s
top musical talent, ranging from chamber music to vocal jazz. 



The series, sponsored by Benny’s of Simsbury, runs April 26 through June
14
 in the Society's historic buildings and outdoors in the garden.
Admission for the events is free to the public; all donations will benefit
local artists and musicians, as well as the Simsbury Historical Society. For
more information, visit www.simsburyhistory.org or the
Society’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/simsburyhistoricalsociety.



The series kicks off on  April 26 with a night of exciting classical and
contemporary music performed by The West End String Quartet, a
group that has been entertaining audiences across New England with a varied
repertoire of chamber music. As strong advocates of contemporary music, WESQ
“strives to bring new and uncommon repertoire to their concerts, pairing
them with traditional works.” The concert will be held in the Historic Meeting
House Replica on the grounds of the Simsbury Historical Society. A reception
will follow in the Phelps Tavern Museum. Admission is free, donations gladly accepted.

Sexton Barber to begin a “Historical Room” in Simsbury.  The
Society’s first and current permanent home was acquired in 1962 through the
gift of the Phelps family household. Today, the Simsbury Historical Society
continues its stewardship of period and modern buildings, artifact and

public the opportunity to research and enjoy Simsbury’s past and present. Learn
