MUSIC
The Fine Arts Connection MUSIC group is probably the most well known as it has been providing programs for the longest time. Most notable is the annual Summer Band Concert Series which began in the late '90's with a few concerts by the American Service Bands. The Concert Series began in 2003 with six bands and has grown to today's nine bands!
MUSIC has brought the Connecticut Opera Express into the school system with their presentation of "Amahl and the Night Visitors". A joint concert with the New England Symphonic Band and the Farmington Valley band was held in 2004 at the historic Thomaston Opera House. Future plans include assisting with providing new presentations for the schools and the greater Thomaston Community.
This coming 2026 season of Summer Concerts will be back in Seth Thomas Park . We are still making plans to build a permanent stage there but that will take some more time and funding to make it happen.
The Thomaston Summer Concert Series 2026 is in the works. Thank you to everyone who came out to support our past concerts both physically and financially.
We couldn't have done it without you!
A special thank you and shout out to Paula Verdosci and Ian Jones for making it all happen!!!

July 6 - Sally and the Green Jazz Band
Jul 6th 2026Green as organic.
An Earth Day event in 2014.
We grew organically, starting with our passion for jazz.
Since then, The Green Jazz Band has been bringing good energy and fresh interpretations of classic jazz to audiences across Connecticut and beyond — from parties and art openings to libraries and summer festivals, from retirement communities to corporate events.
We play it all: classics from the Great American Songbook, cool bossa nova, jazzed-up blues and pop. Whatever the vibe, we adapt — duet, trio, quartet, or full quintet — always with style, heart, and swing.
We’ve lit up stages at the Wadsworth Atheneum of Art, the Northwest Lewiston Jazz Festival, Earthstock Connecticut, the Collinsville HOT Festival and Music on Main Series, the Gershon Fox Ballroom, the Society Room, and the Vitrano Jazz Series.
Over ten years on, the music’s still growing — organically, of course.
