Please note the revised dates: Performances will be Saturday April 12, 2025 at 8:00 PM and Sunday April 13, 2025, at 4:00 PM, at Christ the King church, Old Lyme, with the Con Brio Festival Orchestra, and Con Brio Chorus, conducted by Dr. Stephen Bruce. The guest soloist is Ransom Bruce, tenor.
In response to high demand for tickets, and to make substantially more parking available, Con Brio now presents two performances of all Concerts. Tickets are $40 or $15 for students. Patrons are advised to purchase tickets early, as concerts do sell out.
