Hartford Symphony's "Debussy & Ravel" Masterworks concert not only features Debussy's "Clair de Lune" and two-thirds of his "Nocturnes" but Ravel's wondrous one-hand workout "Concerto for the Left Hand for Piano and Orchestra," performed perfectly by Alessio Bax.
Jim Brickman was looking for more intimate venues to play on his "Brickman Across America" tour. This time around, the piano pop star will play at Infinity Hall in Hartford on Friday.
The first Hartford Symphony Orchestra concert of the 2022-23 Masterworks season, "American Adventures," gives works by George Gershwin, Ferde Grofé and Aaron Copland the jazziness or folkiness they deserve. The orchestra also performs Valerie Coleman's short 2020 tribute to COVID-era frontline workers, "Seven O'Clock Shout."
