Beginning June 21 on International Make Music Day, 12 pianos painted by local artists and placed in public, outdoor spaces in New Haven, Branford, Guilford, and Madison, Connecticut will become the Free Keys CT Piano Trail.

The New Haven Symphony Orchestra (NHSO) announced today that it will continue its popular podcast series, Listen Up!, with a second season beginning Thursday, February 28. Promoted with the tagline “Showing you how to get more out of the music you love,” each episode takes a deeper look at a single element of music across multiple musical genres and unpacks it for listeners so they might better enjoy and understand their favorite music.

DBR will be the featured guest artist for the orchestra’s 87th Annual Young People’s Concerts in late March, and his Hip-Hop Essay Part 1 will be included on the program, To Thee We Sing, on April 4 at Southern Connecticut State University.
