Fairfield County will host two interactive, family concerts on April 21 featuring Music Together staff and teachers. Music Together offers early childhood music and movement programs. Classes are available seven days a week for children up to 8 years old and their parents throughout Fairfield County. 

A Newtown performance will be held on April 21 from 10 to 11:30am, led by Julie Capuano, the director of Music Together of Monroe/Newtown LLCs. Jackie Jacobs, the director of Music Together of Fairfield County Inc., will host a Norwalk concert on April 21 from 3 to 5pm. Doors will open with warm-up events, including a children’s drum circle and other performances. Both concerts will feature favorite songs, dances and instrument play and encourage participation from all who attend. Families can play with their favorite egg shakers, scarves and ribbons while drumming along. 

The concerts will include a special guest appearance by recording artist Gerry Dignan (aka “Uncle Gerry”) and his wife (known as “Aunt Denise”). In addition to being a Music Together ambassador, Dignan is a skilled music facilitator, improvisation master and educator.

Proceeds from the events will support Sandy Hook Promise and/or another nonprofit. Sandy Hook Promise is comprised of two nonprofits, SHP Foundation and SHP Action Fund; their missions involve finding sensible solutions to prevent gun violence and helping the community heal.
