MUSIC
The Fine Arts Connection MUSIC group is probably the most well known as it has been providing programs for the longest time. Most notable is the annual Summer Band Concert Series which began in the late '90's with a few concerts by the American Service Bands. The Concert Series began in 2003 with six bands and has grown to today's nine bands!
MUSIC has brought the Connecticut Opera Express into the school system with their presentation of "Amahl and the Night Visitors". A joint concert with the New England Symphonic Band and the Farmington Valley band was held in 2004 at the historic Thomaston Opera House. Future plans include assisting with providing new presentations for the schools and the greater Thomaston Community.
Due to park renovations / improvements at Seth Thomas Park ongoing this year all summer concerts are being held this season at: REEVES FIELD located behind JDT's Brickhouse Restaurant (9 North Main Street).

Sally and the Green Jazz Band in Concert - AUGUST 12 - REEVES FIELD
Aug 12th 2024Sally Terrell (vocals/piano) began a lifelong love affair with piano and singing at age six, poking out melodies alongside her father, a classically trained pianist and jazz aficionado who passed along his love of George Gershwin, Errol Garner and Julie London while discovering his youngest daughter could play and sing by ear. Terrell’s intuitive interpretations and razor-sharp ear showcase a velvety alto that can effortlessly soothe and soar. She and partner John Sarlo formed the Green Jazz Band.
Mike Milner (horns) started playing with big bands in his early teens, sharing the stage with Maynard Ferguson, Mercer Ellington and Lionel Hampton. After performing with rock, reggae, top 40 and funk bands, Mike is excited about returning to his jazz roots.
Kevin O’Neil (guitar) joined the band in 2015. He is a seasoned performer whose world tour and recordings with the legendary saxophonist and NEA Jazz Master Anthony Braxton established him as a force in avant-garde jazz.
John Sarlo (bass) performed with rock and top 40 bands and has found his true home in playing standards.
