April 7, 2008, the Connecticut Opera performed for Region 14 third and fourth grade students. The performance of "Little Red Riding Hood" was joyously received by the students. Immediately following the performance, the troupe gave their "Operatunities" workshop to members of the Nonnewaug High School choral program.
Students were given first hand information on training to become a professional singer. Please visit the "CT Opera Express" page for photos of this amazing group of performers.

The Foundation sponsored a program for all 2nd grade students at Bethlehem Elemenatry School on May 12 and 13. Students had a hands on demonstration of the violin with Waterbury Symphony Concert Mistress, Alyce Cognetta-Bertz. The following day the students attended a concert featuring the Cognetta String Quartet. Principal of BES, Melinda McKenna, applied for the grant on behalf of the school. The Thomaston Savings Bank provided funding for the Foundation to sponsor this program.
We are pleased to assist with this program and hope it helps reach our long range goal to develop a string program in Region 14.
