The Boston Pops comes to UConn on Dec. 6, at the Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts. The orchestera will perform a Winter Holiday Special.
Keith Lockhart, conductor of the Boston Pops orchestra, will give at talk at the University of Connecticut on Thursday, Nov. 13, as part of the Robert H. Gray Memorial Lecture series sponsored by the School of Fine Arts. Lockhart's talk begins at 2 p.m. in von der Mehden Recital Hall on the UConn campus. Admission is free and public is invited.
Lockhart will talk about his personal journey of becoming a conductor, and his vision for the future of music.
Lockhart became conductor of the Boston Pops in 1995, successfully making his own mark as he stepped into the very big shoes of Arthur Fiedler and John Williams. He has continued the Boston Pops' traditional Fourth of July special and Evening at Pops on PBS, but has branched into alternative, jazz and ethnic music.
Lockhart has earned many honors, including the Bob Hope Patriot Award in 2006, given to someone who encourages love of and service to the country.

While many readers will know me from The Courant, The Chronicle and The Reminder... let me introduce myself as the editor of Mansfield Today. I've been a reporter in this area for many years and first began covering Mansfield news when I worked for The Chronicle in 1991. I am very excited about this new publication because like many of you, I no longer have a subscription to a printed newspaper, and you can have direct input on the stories you read via comments at the end of each article. If you happen to see me out and about in town, please feel free to say "Hello," and let me know what you think of this publication.
