Danbury Concert Association unveils exciting, oft-daring 2019-2020 season

The brilliant volunteers who, annually, piece together an always exciting and oft-daring Danbury Concert Association series, truly know what "in concert" means, and they generously serve up a musical feast each year that pleases those on both sides of the footlights. This year is no exception as the Danbury Concert Association unveils its 2019-2020 season, highlighting a new collaboration, two DCA debuts, and a gala return appearance, and all "in concert" with a mission to provide audiences with virtuoso performances, in a pitch-perfect setting, and accessible to all.
 
DCA season tickets, with each of the four performances followed by a meet-the-artist reception, are $65 per person and can be obtained now by calling (203) 748-2177. The Danbury Concert Association's 2019-2020 season includes: 
Sunday, September 15th at 3 p.m.  Andrew Armstrong, piano / Tessa Lark, violin / Raman Ramakrishnan, cello 

Praised by critics for his passionate expression and dazzling technique, Andrew Armstrong returns to the DCA stage, with budding superstar, violinist Tessa Lark, and cellist extraordinaire, Raman Ramakrishnan to launch an exciting new collaboration.

Sunday, October 20th at 3 p.m. Cecile Licad, piano       

Known throughout the music world for daring musical instinct, superb training, and repertoire spanning Classical, Romantic, and 20th Century works, Cecile Licad’s boundless talent has inspired the compliment “a pianist’s pianist." With this appearance, Cecile is making her DCA debut.

Sunday, March 29th, 2020, at 3 p.m. Camerata RCO

In another DCA debut, these players, members of Amsterdam’s famed Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, know their way around the Classical and Romantic repertoire for strings and winds. Come hear why The Washington Post proclaimed their music-making “as snug as the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.”

Sunday, May 17th, 2020, at 3 p.m. Borealis Wind Quintet 

These returning, Grammy-nominated musicians generate a special, charismatic energy - not unlike the dazzling natural light show whose name they share - and are hailed as one of America’s preeminent chamber ensembles.

Single performance tickets are $25 per adult and may be reserved within two weeks of performance by calling the WCSU box office at (203) 837-8732 or by going to wcsupac.eventbrite.com  Availability may be limited.
