Residents Event Calendar

We travel with Briarwood aboard a Knight’s Limo Bus to Lenox for a BSO concert at the music shed! Dima Slobodeniouk conducts Rachmaninoff and Sibelius featuring pianist Yefim Bronfman. A box lunch will be served aboard the bus. Previous registration required.

Throughout its 40-year history, the Kennedy Center Honors has redefined America’s perception of its artistic legacy and reinvented the way this nation rewards its artists. The Honors have been compared to a knighthood in Britain, or the French Legion of Honor–the quintessential reward for a lifetime’s endeavor. The annual gala serves as the year’s crowning event for millions of American arts lovers as we pay tribute to our nation’s preeminent artists with performances by great stars who have followed in their footsteps. Let me repeat that “as we pay tribute to our nation’s preeminent artists with performances by great stars…” And WHO KNEW those great stars live right here at Southgate? And WHO KNEW the Kennedy Center Honors gala would be held right here at Southgate in November? It’s our 30th anniversary and we’re celebrating in a big way! ALL are welcome to join us this afternoon to find out how they can participate in the fun! There is something for everyone because ‘the best of times is NOW’.

Our next art gallery exhibit features the work of Susan Scott Kenney. Susan has a BS in Art Education from Southern Connecticut State University and a Masters of Art Ed from the Hartford Art School. She was also an art teacher in the Dudley -Charlton School system. Susan works in a variety of media but is primarily an acrylic painter. Her subject matter has evolved and changed over the years but her love of color remains a constant. She is a member of Connecticut Women Artists and is President of The Norwich Art Center Gallery and exhibits in a variety of venues. The reception will also feature classical guitarist Peter Clemente. Refreshments will be served.

Hey Daddy-O! Join us for some hip sounds to get your motor running as we welcome one of the country’s most reputable and sought-after Oldies groups, The Reminisants! Remember the early years of rock n’ roll when there was a melody and words you could understand? Like “Dream Lover” and “Run Around Sue”? Take the journey back with us tonight as Southgate welcomes these talented musicians who have performed with such notables as the Beach Boys, Bill Haley’s Comets, and Chubby Checker just to name a few.

Again this month, join Resident Helena LeetPellegrini, professional storyteller, as we share stories to have fun, connect, inspire and keep growing. No experience necessary or expected. Why do people tell stories? What makes them engaging, entertaining and meaningful? Come join us! This month’s topic is “Stories of Coincidence or Chance” Whether as teller of listener, everyone is a welcome participant!
