SUMMARY:Twilight Talks & Presentations Series: What a Glorious Crash They Made
DESCRIPTION:What a Glorious Crash They Made: Musick of Connecticut’s Revolution. \nThis forty-minute program features a collection of “New Songs” and Hymns published in Connecticut during the American Revolution. From the time of the Stamp Act through the British surrender at Yorktown\, Connecticut’s seditious colonists used these works to foment rebellion\, commemorate victory\, and give thanks for preservation. Richard Franklin Donohue\, Tenor & Harpsichord\, will explore this fiery repertoire that in the words of John Adams “cultivated the sensations of Freedom.” As many of these songs were also published in other areas\, What a Glorious Crash They Made can be easily modified for performance throughout New England. \nRichard Franklin Donohue is a singer\, private music instructor\, and historian. Vocally\, he is a tenor who specializes in historic music ranging from Middle English Carols to 19th century romantic music. He has been teaching Piano\, Voice\, and Music Theory since 1992. Richard is the Town Historian of his hometown of Cromwell\, Connecticut and has been the President and Program Director of the Cromwell Historical Society for nearly twenty years. He is the author of “Rosetown Review\,” a monthly history article published in the Cromwell Life newspaper\, and presents historical lectures throughout New England on various topics. \n  \nClick Here to Register \nDonations will be accepted at the Door

SUMMARY:Free Hearing Screenings
DESCRIPTION:Free Comprehensive Hearing Screening! Call 860-567-8302 to book your 20 minute appointment between 9:30-12pm.\n\n\n\n\nHearing Care Centers will be on site at Litchfield Community Center to offer free comprehensive hearing screenings\, a series of tests that assess an individual’s ability to hear sounds and understand speech. The screening typically includes a range of tests such as pure-tone audiometry\, speech audiometry\, and middle ear testing. The purpose of the screening is to determine whether an individual has any hearing loss and the extent of the hearing loss. \nComprehensive hearing screening is important because hearing loss can have a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life. It can affect an individual’s ability to communicate effectively\, participate in social activities\, and perform daily tasks. Early detection of hearing loss can help prevent these negative impacts by allowing for prompt treatment\, such as hearing aids or cochlear implants\, which can improve an individual’s ability to hear and communicate. Additionally\, early detection of hearing loss can help identify any underlying medical conditions that may be causing the hearing loss and allow for timely treatment of those conditions. Overall\, comprehensive hearing screening is an important tool in maintaining overall health and wellbeing.
