Connecticut Summerfest is proud to offer a free, live-streamed concert series as a part of our festival each year. Our Evening of Premieres is a night to showcase the diverse voices of our festival composers and is the capstone of months of hard work by our festival composers and ensembles-in-residence.

All concerts will take place in-person at Berkman Recital Hall and will also be live-streamed via our YouTube channel.
