A fabulous evening of Canapes, Cocktails and two Concerts. KEYS Jazz Band and our own Norwalk Symphony String musicians provided entertainment for this event. Guests were treated to the beauty of The Norwalk Art Space location along with food by Marcia Seldon Catering. Mr. Beethoven (aka: Philip Callen) led the paddle raise. Our Forte Award Honorees were David and Eunice Bigelow (accepted by their daughter Cindi) and Louis L. Broudy. Each were honored for their Distinguished Contributions to Music. A huge thank you to our Sponsors: Fairfield County Bank, M&T Bank, Horizon Kinetics and Stew Leonard’s Wines and Spirits. Thank you as well to our Advertisers: Spinnaker Real Estate Partners, Coldwell Banker, Garavel, Santa Energy, Tuliptree Site Design, Wegmans Food Markets, Greater Norwalk Chamber of Commerce, Rick’s Main Roofing and Shoff Darby Insurance Agency. A special thanks to our Soiree Co-Chairs, Mary Petro Noonan and Nicole von Dohlen.
