Club), establishes her as something genuinely rare and refreshing - an unadulterated, unanticipated original.

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

Dear Friends,

In with the old… and in with the new! That’s the theme for our 2012/2013 Season at Jorgensen. While you’ve been busy with your summer plans, we’ve been busier than ever planning a new season featuring some incredible artists and ensembles that have graced the Jorgensen stage in the recent and the distant past, as well as some of the brightest new entertainers on the horizon. Whether your interest lies with the old or the new, our impressive 2012/2013 Season line-up is sure to include many favorites that you would love to see again, or for the very first time.

And speaking of new… we’re delighted to welcome Brid Grant, the new dean of the University of Connecticut’s School of Fine Arts.

It’s no wonder that Jorgensen was recently named the Best College/University Performing Arts Center by the Hartford Advocate Best of Hartford Readers’ Poll for 2012.

So come on out and join us as we celebrate the best of the old… and the new.

WARSAW PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRAYulianna Avdeeva. pianoWhen Chopin gave the premiere of his Piano Concerto No. 2 in the first public concert of his own music in Warsaw in 1830, he was immediately acclaimed a national hero.
