The fourth concert in Newtown Friends of Musicâs 27th season will be the performance of the world acclaimed Artis Quartet.Â Founded a quarter century ago, when its members graduated from the Musikhochschule in Vienna, the Artis Quartet has been captivating audiences internationally since its inception.

The group will be performing in the theater at Edmond Town Hall, 45 Main Street in Newtown, on Sunday, March 13. The performance will begin at 3 pm.

For this tour of North America, the instruments of the Artis Quartet come with the kind permission from the collection of the Osterreichische Nationalbank. Peter Schuhmayerâs violin is a Domenico Montagnana from 1727, violinist Johannes Meissl is playing a 1690 Andrea Guarneri, Herbert Keferâs viola is a J.B. Guadagnini built in 1784, and Othmar Mullerâs 1573 cello is an Andrea Amati.Â

The program for March 13 program will begin with Mozartâs astonishing Quartet in C Major, K. 465, nicknamed âDissonance,â the last of a set of six string quartets dedicated to his mentor Joseph Haydn, and Felix Mendelssohnâs Quartet in E minor, Opus 44, No 2.

After intermission, the quartet will perform one of Beethovenâs most impressive quartets, Quartet in F, Opus 59, Number 1, which contains melodic elements based on Russian folk tunes and is an audience favorite.

A post-performance reception will allow the audience and the artists a firsthand opportunity to meet and speak.

Tickets are $15 for adults and can be reserved by calling 426-6470 or online at www.NewtownFriendsOfMusic.org.

Children between the ages of 5 and 14 are admitted free when accompanied by a ticket-holding adult.

Tickets will be also available the day of the performance at the box office, which will open at 2 the day of performance.

Edmond Town Hall is wheelchair accessible and all seats in the house are excellent, visually and acoustically. Free parking is available in the large parking lot behind the building.

Middle School Counseling Department Hosts Annual Career Day

Nobody is suggesting shutting the doors on new neighbors. What neighboring towns are doing, and what we should be doing too, is to tap the brakes on all of the multi-family residential development proposals so that we can spend 6 months updating our regulations such that if you want to build dense residential housing here, XX percent of it needs to be affordable (we will never make any headway on increasing our percentage of affordable housing otherwise, short of 8-30g), and the rest needs to be done in as low an impact manner as possible. Low impact on traffic, health & safety, the environment and on the cost of town services.

Backs Moratorium On Dense Development Applications

Hey, there you go! Richard solved it. Thanks, that seems so easy- we'll just get rid of the 2nd amendment and the Supreme Court. Seriously, the 2nd amendment doesn't create violent criminals or mental illness. The Supreme Court doesn't create violent criminals or mental illness. The problem is not the tools, but the criminals & the mental illness. The state of Connecticut seems to be focused on the tools, like Richard, while ignoring the users of those tools.

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

Ned, please familarize yourself with 8-30G, and then please share the unique flaws that may be helpful in formulating a denial An 8-30g project can be denied only on very narrow grounds – i.e., if it presents health, safety or other concerns that exceed a town’s need for affordable housing. According to the TOG website, “projects cannot be rejected for incompatibility with a Town’s Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD); density; traffic congestion; height; aesthetics; concerns of neighbors or the community; and failure to comply with local zoning regulations.” 8-30g proposals are rarely denied by planning and zoning officials because the burden of proof on appeal is on the town. Appeals are costly, but a municipality can be successful in a court case if it has sufficiently established that the concerns leading to denial are factual and substantive.

P&Z Should Reject Vessel Proposal

The town should certainly measure its performance against the statewide strategies. Unless I missed it I only know of one small cluster of homes that would meet the affordable housing program. Given the 500 or so new units being added in the last 10 years I think that 4/500 would not meet the metric to allow for a moratorium. I mean, fingers crossed for a Christmas miracle but I suspect we will see a few 8-30's sent our way in a method to avoid the Nimby mob. Thanks, Nimby mob.

Discusses Affordable Housing

gangs. If I use a firearm in self/home defense, is that gun violence?
