April 27, 2016, Middlebury/Southbury, CT— Together with the Region 15 Fine Arts Department, the school PTOs will be hosting an annual student concert and art show on the Southbury Green. In addition, the PTOs solicited local businesses for their participation in a special one-day discount program for shoppers.

Region 15 Concert & Art on the Green

A slate of Region 15 musicians will be performing at a free Referendum Day Concert on Wednesday, May 4, 2016 from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Weather permitting, the concert will be held at the Southbury Gazebo at the Southbury Green shopping center on Main Street South.

“We want to share our enthusiasm and support for the Region 15 school system with the community,” said Beth Rosen, co-chair of the PTO Advisory Council.

This year’s event has been organized by members of the PTO Advisory Council, with the volunteer assistance from Region 15 Director of Fine Arts, Jane Sarjeant, other PTO members, and district music and art teachers.

“We want to showcase our students’ strength in music and art,” said Mrs. Sarjeant. “Weather permitting, we hope the community will come to the concerts and bring a chair or blanket to sit on, pack an early dinner, and enjoy the afternoon.”
