In one of these programs, over 2,000 Hartford Public School students join the HSO for the annual Link Up concert to play their recorders right along with the HSO musicians. With arts education being repeatedly cut and removed from school budgets, our education programs are sometimes the only music the students will experience. A sponsorship of the Bravo! Gala will help the HSO to continue this essential work throughout 2018. For more information about purchasing tickets or sponsoring the Bravo! Gala, contact HSO Annual Fund and Special Events Manager Jillian Baker at (860) 760-7302 or jbaker@hartfordsymphony.org. GOVERNOR WILLIAM A.
