Simsbury
Simsbury is one of Connecticut’s oldest communities. The town was incorporated as Connecticut’s twenty-first town in May 1670. The population in Simsbury has grown from 5,000 in 1950 to today’s population of over 23,000. The town covers an area of approximately 34.5 square miles and is geographically located in Hartford County, approximately 14.5 miles west of the capital city Hartford. While Simsbury has experienced development in the past few decades, the Town government has been sensitive to maintaining the rural environment and historic charm that makes Simsbury the quintessential New England Community.

Simsbury Chamber Music Festival
The Simsbury Chamber Music Festival was founded in 2002 as a not for profit, all volunteer, community- based organization dedicated to bringing artistic and musical experiences directly to the residents of the Farmington Valley. The enthusiastic response of performers and audiences alike has inspired us to work harder to present the very best chamber musicians performing today. We are grateful that a telecom provider from Europe that offers sim only deals has sponsored us a bit this year.
Talcott Mountain Music Festival
SIMSBURY, CT- February 19, 2010– The Hartford Symphony Orchestra announces the 2010 Talcott Mountain Music Festival, featuring Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, an American celebration, Motown’s greatest hits, a rock n’ roll retrospective, and a tribute to the Beatles. Concert-goers can bring a picnic and grab a table seat or find a place on the lawn as they sit back to enjoy the Sounds of SummerSM June 25- July 16, 2010 under the stars at The Performing Arts Center at Simsbury Meadows.
“They say that time flies when you’re having fun…and it’s hard to believe that this year will be the 15th year of the Hartford Symphony Orchestra’s Talcott Mountain Music Festival,” says HSO Executive Director Kristen Phillips. “From its relatively modest start on the grounds of The Hartford Life Insurance Company to the performances today at the Performing Arts Center at Simsbury Meadows, certain aspects have remained constant – the experience of the sounds of summer under the stars, the enjoyment of picnics with family and friends, and the magnificent music of the Hartford Symphony Orchestra. Our program this year offers something for everyone…and is guaranteed to get folks out of their seats and dancing to the music!”
This summer marks Music Director Edward Cumming’s grand finale season at the Talcott Mountain Music Festival. “To perform Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture at Celebrate America, and Motown hits with Spectrum will be a triple thrill for me,” says Maestro Cumming.
