Connecticut Alliance for Music (CAM) will launch its 2000-02 season on Sunday, October 21, at 3 pm, with a performance by Andrew Day, a remarkable young flutist from Australia. Currently in his final year at Julliard School of Music in Manhattan, Mr Day garnered top prize in last yearâs Heida Hermanns International Young Artists Competition. His program will feature music by Bach, Mozart, Poulenc, and Chaminade.

The October 21 concert is the first of four concerts to be presented during the season in the informal settings of private homes throughout Fairfield County. Admission to the four house concerts series are available by subscription at $60 for the full season, or through individual ticket purchases of $22 per concert.

Upcoming house concerts in the series will be Sunday, November 18, with pianist Gayle Martin Henry; Sunday, March 24, Elm City Ensemble; and Sunday, May 24 with soprano Jennifer Foster and baritone Gregory Rahming. Each house concert begins at 3 and is followed by a gala reception to honor the performers.

The voters certainly spoke — and I respect the outcome — but let’s not forget that a “majority” doesn’t mean everyone agreed. Many of us are deeply concerned about the rising cost of living here. Supporting schools and services is important, but so is ensuring that residents can afford to stay in the town they love. We all want Newtown to be a great place to live, but lately, it’s starting to feel less like “Nicer in Newtown” and more like “More Expensive in Newtown.” That’s not sustainable, and it’s not a criticism of the town itself — it’s a call for responsible budgeting and long-term planning that doesn’t rely on tax increases year after year. I hope future decisions will reflect not just the desire to maintain services, but also the need to ease the financial burden on residents.

Budget, Capital Projects Pass: Officials Respond

I appreciate the passion behind this message, and I absolutely understand the desire to invest in our town. That said, I voted no — not because I don't care about Newtown, but because I do. Fiscal responsibility is not about ignoring problems, it’s about making sure we address them in a sustainable and transparent way. It’s frustrating to feel like every year there’s a new “urgent” reason to raise taxes, with little serious effort to curb spending or prioritize needs. I worry this just sets the stage for another round of increases next year. That doesn't mean I’m against education, safety, or our town’s future — it means I believe in accountability and in asking tough questions about how our money is managed. Voting no wasn't a rejection of Newtown — it was a call for more thoughtful, balanced leadership. I hope future conversations can include all perspectives, not just those willing to write a bigger check.

The Voters Chose Newtown

The voters spoke, loud and clear that they support our schools and municipal services. The majority vote was a mandate to keep delivering well rated education services and keep it" Nicer in Newtown."

Great effort by the those who attended to shine a light on the attacks on Democracy. Thanks for the article so all can understand whats happening.

Hundreds Attend ‘Rock This Democracy’ Rally

Thank you LeReine, for speaking out about this. The list of public servants who are unfairly targeted for abuse just for doing their jobs has been growing. It is a testament to the power of propaganda that otherwise good and well-meaning people can get so emotional as to act out in this way.
