An Evening of Culture in Hartford
The lucky winners of the December Culture Draw at Westminster had the opportunity to experience an extraordinary evening in Hartford Dec. 2. Faculty members Scott Reeves and Darlene Skeels, and students Nadrina Ebrahimi ’15, Travis Percy ’14, Jae’Quan Barr’15 and Danielle Amiot ’13 dined at the Firebox restaurant then attended the Holiday Masterworks program of the Hartford Symphony Orchestra at the Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts. The program featured guest conductor Richard Coffey, a large orchestra, three soloists, the Hartford Chorale and the Connecticut Children’s Chorus.
Four Culture Draws are taking place during the 2011-12 academic year at Westminster. Students and faculty members enter their names for a drawing of two faculty members and four students to spend an evening dining and attending a major performing arts program in Hartford. The students are excused from homework for the evening. Culture Draws for the year include:
