New Haven Ballet will present its DanceAIR Spring Community Performance on May 8 at 6:30 p.m. at Fair Haven School Auditorium, 164 Grand Avenue. This free event brings together students from schools and community programs across New Haven for an evening of dance and celebration.
DanceAIR provides ballet instruction in local schools and community centers, giving students the opportunity to train, build confidence, and perform. Students from Truman School, Edgewood School, Barack Obama Magnet University School (BOMU), Lincoln-Bassett School, Fair Haven School, Highville Charter School, and Q House will take the stage, many for the first time in front of a live audience.
“The long-term impact of DanceAIR is visible,” said Artistic Director Lisa Kim. “We are seeing students continue their training and grow into strong, committed dancers. It begins with access, encouragement, and opportunity.”
Children’s Division Director Timothy Fountain added, “Working with DanceAIR students brings me tremendous joy. Their growth is inspiring, and audiences will see them perform with real confidence.”
The performance is free and open to the public.

Battell Chapel

The Civic Orchestra of New Haven, under the direction of Nadya Potemkina, presents Glow &amp; Grace at Battell Chapel, featuring a New England premiere by Quinn Mason alongside works by Gioachino Rossini and César Franck.
The program opens with Rossini’s witty and energetic Overture to The Barber of Seville, followed by Mason’s Sonorous, a bold and expressive trombone concerto—offering a rare opportunity to experience a compelling contemporary work in its New England premiere. The program concludes with Franck’s Symphony in D minor, a richly layered and powerful work that remains one of the most distinctive symphonic voices of the late Romantic era.

“The John Fogerty Tribute Project” is not a cookie cutter tribute act giving you the same songs and robot style performances. Rather, their live, interactive, heart throbbing performances are at the core of a real live John Fogerty concert. An energetic tribute that will bring the house down with all the songs you would expect to hear from both John Fogerty’s Creedence Clearwater Revival years and his solo career. A fitting tribute to the man and his music while maintaining the individual musicianship of each band member and their talent. Via their media outlets, you can follow the developments, hard work and “fan-extras” no other tribute band provides. 
The band is also in contact with current members of John Fogerty’s touring band while seeking their advice and critique on the project. “The John Fogerty Project” leaves their audiences with a memorable uplifting rock and roll experience while paying tribute this classic and timeless music everyone knows and loves leaving the fans wanting to do it all again. This tribute band is an absolute “must see”.A truly unique experience on the tribute band scene.

College Access and FAFSA Support Launches for CT Students


The College Access Collaborative of Connecticut 

The College Access Collaborative of Connecticut (CAC) is a community based educational consulting organization focused on improving college access, financial aid completion, and postsecondary readiness for first generation, multilingual, adult, and historically underserved students across Connecticut. CAC partners with high schools, adult education programs, nonprofits, and community organizations to provide hands on support with FAFSA completion, AACTUS guidance for undocumented and mixed status students, college applications, scholarship navigation, and enrollment planning. Services are delivered through workshops, small group sessions, and individualized advising, particularly during peak college and financial aid seasons when schools are often stretched beyond capacity. CAC’s work is designed to strengthen and extend existing counseling and outreach efforts, not replace them. What makes CAC distinct is its relationship centered and culturally responsive approach. Programming is offered in English, Haitian Creole, and Spanish, ensuring families who are often excluded from the college process due to language or system barriers can fully participate and make informed decisions. CAC emphasizes clarity over jargon, follow through over one time events, and outcome driven support that helps organizations track progress in FAFSA completion, college applications, and enrollment. Founded by educator and college access professional Looney Chery; CAC was created after years of working directly with students and families navigating complex college and financial aid systems with limited individualized support. CAC exists to close these gaps by combining professional expertise, lived experience, and strong community relationships. By meeting students and families where they are, The College Access Collaborative helps turn college from a confusing process into a realistic and achievable pathway.
