** Canceled ** 🎶 Join us for a fun night with the Eastern Connecticut Symphony Orchestra behind the scenes at the iconic Garde Arts Center. This is a chance to mix and mingle in one of New London’s most vibrant arts spaces and get an inside look at the people who bring music to life. What to Expect: Symphony members will be on hand to chat about their work and the instruments they play. Guests are also invited to stick around for a preview of the Symphony's dress rehearsal for Sounds of America. Come casual or business casual, and enjoy an easygoing night of music, conversation, and connections! 🎻 About our Hosts: The Eastern Connecticut Symphony Orchestra (ESCO) began in 1946, founded by Norwegian immigrant Victor Norman as the New London Civic Orchestra. After teaming up frequently with the Willimantic Community Orchestra, the two groups officially merged in 1954 to become the Eastern Connecticut Symphony. Victor Norman led the orchestra for 35 years, during which it grew massively—adding more concerts, expanding its budget, and eventually becoming a fully professional ensemble. The Eastern Connecticut Symphony Chorus and Youth Orchestra were also launched during this era, both in 1967, shaping ECSO into the regional arts institution it is today. Garde Arts Center: Southeastern Connecticut’s non-profit home for the performing arts, cinema, and arts education, the Garde Arts Center was founded in 1985 to save, restore, and operate the historic (1926) Garde Theater and Building in the heart of downtown New London. Today, the Garde serves as a vibrant regional cultural gathering place and economic catalyst - as we approach the Theater’s 100th Anniversary in 2026, we proudly celebrate a century of artistry, community, and impact while looking ahead to an even more inspiring future.
