Taft Musicians to Perform with Waterbury Symphony Orchestra

Taft musicians will join the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra (WSO) for their season finale, “Simply Fantastique,” Sunday, May 17th at 3 pm at the Fine Arts Center of CT State Community College, Waterbury, CT.

The concert opens with the side-by-side collaborative performance between WSO and Taft Chamber Orchestra musicians. They will perform the first movement of Mozart’s Symphony No. 35 “Haffner.” Led by longtime WSO violinist and Taft Orchestra Director Lisa Laquidara, the collaboration reflects the orchestra’s ongoing commitment to meaningful educational partnerships and mentorship opportunities for young musicians throughout the region. 

WSO Music Conductor Leif Bjaland will visit Taft for a special rehearsal on campus Friday; Taft students will rehearse with the full orchestra on Friday evening.
