Monroe Music Festival – A New Musical Experience
Creative Music Center to Sponsor first ever Monroe Music Festival
Event to Take Place During May 27th Bicentennial Picnic at Wolfe Park
Monroe, CT, May 19, 2023 – Creative Music Center is proud to announce its title sponsorship of the inaugural Monroe Music Festival. The exciting news was revealed today from Creative Music’s headquarter store in Monroe, highlighting its commitment to supporting local talent and celebrating Monroe’s 200th anniversary. The four-hour event, featuring a lineup of exceptional musicians, will captivate attendees of the Bicentennial Picnic at Wolfe Park on Saturday, May 27th, from 1:30 to 5:30.
Creative Music Center has taken the lead in organizing and producing the festival after being approached by Dr. Paul Moyse of the Bicentennial Committee.
“What would this Bicentennial celebration be without music?” queried Moyse. “I know there is an abundance of local talent who have aspirations to perform here in Monroe and ambitions to be recognized throughout the region and even more broadly,” he said. “It made me think about my son Chris who is pursuing his musical dreams in Nashville. He would have coveted the opportunity to play for a local audience.”
The Creative Music team has curated a diverse selection of bands and individual musicians, while managing the logistics for their performances. Their efforts have been spearheaded by Ryan Tedesco, who provides lessons to twenty students at Creative Music’s 701 Main Street location. He is the drummer for Between the Keys, the festival’s headline act, which will provide support to other local performers as well. Also featured will be The Notables, led by Creative Music teacher Vic Johnson. See below for the complete lineup.
“We are thrilled to be an integral part of the Bicentennial celebration,” expressed Mike Reisman, Owner of Creative Music Center. “When my late wife purchased the store 20 years ago, she always imagined how best to contribute to the community. Music has always played a pivotal role in our town’s fabric, and we are excited to play our part in the celebration.”
Creative Music has also developed the festival logo (see above) and created the tagline, “Sponsoring Spectacular Music.” The creative is designed to bring Moyse’s and Tedesco’s vision to life in highlighting the incredible musical talent that thrives here in Monroe. Alexandra Dima, Marketing Manager at Creative Music, who will perform with Between the Keys explained, “We have spectacular talent right here in town. We hope this becomes an opportunity for aspiring musicians to shine.”
As part of its commitment to the 200th anniversary, Creative Music will also be launching several promotions tied exclusively to the occasion.
