Singer-Songwriter Dori Freeman to Perform at Westminster School

Singer-Songwriter Dori Freeman will give a performance at Westminster School Jan. 28 as part of the school’s Friday Nights at Westminster series of readings and concerts held during the academic year.

Raised in the Appalachian Mountains of southwest Virginia by a musical family, Freeman says she is forever marked by her rural upbringing but also wants to bring a contemporary stamp to her music.

Her fourth studio album, “Ten Thousand Roses,” showcases an artist who has cemented a signature sound while establishing capabilities for a wide variety of styles. She wrote the songs during the pandemic, when, like millions of others, she stayed home and spent more time outside.

Freeman’s performance at Westminster School will take place from 7-8 p.m. in the school’s Werner Centennial Center. It is free and open to vaccinated members of the public with advance registration by emailing mcervas@westminster-school.org with the number of people attending. Reservations may be made until the day before the event, and space may be limited.

Westminster School is located at 995 Hopmeadow St. in Simsbury. Ample parking will be available in the parking lot adjacent to Armour Academic Center.

The Michael Cervas Visiting Writers Program, which includes the Friday Nights at Westminster series, is supported by generous gifts from the Ford-Goldfarb English Department Enrichment Fund, the McKinley Fund, the Connell Fund and the Friday Nights at Westminster Fund.
