The free concert will headline Bristol Brass and Wind Ensemble under the direction of Richard Theriault and assistant director Kyle Camerato. BBWE will be welcoming special musical guests, the Canal Street Irish Trio. The trio is an Irish traditional music trio that grew out of local sessions in Connecticut. 

Musical selections include “An Irish party in Third Class”; “The Irish Washerwoman” and “The Rakes of Mallow” by Leroy Anderson; Julia Delany’s “Reel by Strommen”; “Irish Tune” by Percy Granger. BBEW will also be playing a Charles Ives piece, “Variations on America” and “First Suite in E-flat” by Gustav Holst.

Admission is free; however monetary donations are always greatly appreciated and accepted. For more information, please visit the BBWE web site at www.bbandwe.org/.

All TBE readers, supporters and donors                

The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.                

  • Non-members will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
  • Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
  • Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.                

Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
