Connecticut Classic Duo Concert

Join us on March 29th at 1:00pm for an amazing encore musical performance of the Connecticut Classic Duo. Iris Bendokas Rogan, violinist and Thirzah Bendokas, cellist are teaming up for their first concert tour of New England this season and will be stopping here at the Lymes’ Senior Center, having toured for the past several seasons in Central Florida and along Florida’s west coast. We have an entertaining and varied program of popular classics and familiar popular tunes, as well as patriotic, Disney, and Broadway melodies and hymns. Both sisters are graduates of The Mannes College of Music and The Juilliard School in Manhattan, Iris is a former member of the Orlando Philharmonic and Disney’s Candlelight Concerts Orchestra, and Thirzah, in addition to being former Principal Cellist of the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra in Connecticut, was a soloist with the Boston Pops Orchestra at Symphony Hall in Boston and has been with virtually every symphony orchestra in Connecticut. Audiences often hum along, clap their hands, and even want to dance to some of our more lively selections, and they hope that our new friends in Old Lyme will enjoy doing the same!
