The season kicks off with the Unforgettable hits of legendary singer Nat King Cole, including L-O-V-E, Nature Boy, and Mona Lisa. The NHSO welcomes guest star CAESAR, whose smooth velvet voice has often been compared to Nat King Cole’s, but he has his own interpretation and style that compares to none.

Learn more about the life and legacy of James Baldwin, inspiration for NHSO Composer-in-Residence Joel Thompson's piece, "To Awaken the Sleeper", which the NHSO will perform on October 23. This curated conversation will be led by Judge Clifton Graves and held at the Stetson Library at the Dixwell Community Q House.
