'The History of the Love Song' the focus of Watkinson 'Freshly Squeezed' series

Watkinson School announces the second event of the series Freshly Squeezed with Colin McEnroe on Valentine's Day eve for "The History of the Love Song" at 7 p.m. on Feb.13.
McEnroe will moderate a discussion on how popular music is frequently our entree to our often-misunderstood first encounters with romantic love. Panelists include award-winning vocalist Dana Lauren, 2010 winner of the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocal Competition and a Bloomfield native;
Steve Metcalf, director of Instrumental Music at the University of Hartford's Hartt School of Music; and Emma Walker, a Hartt School of Music graduate who currently is a copyright administrator for Sony Music Entertainment.  The evening will also feature Watkinson School 9-person a capella vocal group, called Vox Wat.
Based on the premise that everyone loves a juicy conversation and in the best tradition of Connecticut conversation, Freshly Squeezed with Colin McEnroe is a series of nimble, participatory and personal events hosted by Colin McEnroe. All of the profit from ticket sales benefits the education programs of three shining Hartford institutions: Billings Forge, Hartford Stage and the Mark Twain House. The series is generously sponsored by Fiduciary Investment Advisors.
Tickets are $15 each.  All events are held in the Foisie Amphitheater at Watkinson School.  Seating is very limited and general admission, so order today.  Purchase tickets at brownpapertickets.com (search Watkinson School) or by calling 800-838-3006.
