| | News and Opportunities for the Cultural Nonprofits and Creative Businesses of Fairfield County, CT October 4, 2019 CORRECTED LINK The username on our website for the re-named Greater Connecticut Youth Orchestras arrived after the newsletter was sent out, so the link to the GCTYO's profile did not resolve. That link has now been restored. |

Greater Connecticut Youth Orchestras (GCTYO) is the new name for the Greater Bridgeport Youth Orchestras. The organization changed its name "to better reflect its current membership and goals for the future." Music Director Christopher Hisey, who just celebrated 10 years at the helm of the orchestras, and Executive Director Beth Ulman, will continue to lead GCTYO through the name change. Commented Maestro Hisey: "We are excited to present the GCTYO brand to young musicians and their families all over Connecticut. GBYO is really no longer an appropriate title for our organization. We are farther reaching than just the “Greater Bridgeport” area. Our members come from over 30 different towns in Connecticut, and our program has the potential to include more people and serve a larger community. There is great value in what we do, and now people from all over Connecticut who might enjoy and benefit from the opportunity to be a part of this organization will know we are there for them as well.” |
