Donation
It’s a sure sign that spring has arrived in northeastern Connecticut with the return of the Children’s Educational Opera and Symphony Programs sponsored by Performing Arts of Northeast Connecticut through funding by community-based donations. Following a performance of “Bach to the Future” by the New Haven Symphony Orchestra, Thomas A. Borner, president and CEO of Putnam Bank, and Lynn Bourque, senior vice president and branch administrator, presented a $2,500 grant to the Performing Arts of NE CT. The grant will help to fund upcoming children’s educational programs, such as a performance of Rossini’s “Cinderella” by the Salt Marsh Opera of Stonington, on May 14 for 2,000 local fifth graders. Performing Arts of NE CT, an all-volunteer non-profit organization now in its 39th season, brings high quality, enriching and accessible performing arts to northeast Connecticut and Massachusetts. The Children’s Educational Symphony and Opera offers free programs to local students at participating schools. They provide an in-school workshop in each school prior to the professional performance at Hyde. To date, over 146,000 schoolchildren have been able to participate in the arts education programming thanks to the combined efforts and funding of the Performing Arts of NE CT and local community business like Putnam Bank.
