POMFRET — The Pomfret Historical Society and Tyrone Farm are presenting a unique performance of Five Connecticut State Troubadours at 4 p.m. Oct. 22 in the Tyrone Farm Barn.
Seating is limited. Tickets and complimentary youth passes are available on the Pomfret Historical Society website, pomfret-historical-society.org, and at the Vanilla Bean, Grill 37, Pomfret Wine and Spirits, and Watercure Distillery.
Concert proceeds will benefit historic buildings and archives preservation and programs of the Pomfret Historical Society.
The gathering of singer/songwriters will include Kala Farnham of Pomfret, the current State Troubadour, and previously honored title holders Sally Rogers, Kate Callahan, Hugh Blumenfeld, and Phil Rosenthal.
The honorary position of Connecticut State Troubadour was established in 1991 by the Connecticut General Assembly.
The State Troubadour serves as an ambassador of music and song and promotes cultural literacy among Connecticut citizens. The Department of Economic and Community Development, Connecticut Office of the Arts, appoints an individual singer/songwriter familiar with the state’s arts, music, and stories who communicates the Connecticut experience through song.
The concert is part of The Last Green Valley “Walktober” series.
It is produced by Historical Society members Sally Rogers and Dr. Robert Smith.
