Ancient Music, Orchard Harvests, and Coastal Cleanups
The regional schedule is looking great this weekend with a high level of event activity. Weather conditions are excellent for outdoor plans on Friday and Saturday, featuring a mix of musical performances and seasonal activities. The weekend is anchored by a unique ancient lyre recital that concludes a major academic conference.
Expect sunny skies on Friday with a high of 77, followed by a mostly sunny Saturday at 67. The best time to be outside is early Friday morning, which features the weekend's coolest overnight low of 49 degrees.
If you only do one thing
Ancient Greek Lyre: Performance by Dr. Nikos Xanthoulis · Sat 4:30 PM
An ancient Greek music event performed by Dr. Nikolaos Xanthoulis at the Von Der Mehden Recital Hall. This is the closing event for a two-day international conference, providing a unique opportunity to see the ancient Greek lyre performed live. The recital hall atmosphere and the physical presence of a specialist performer offer an experience the box office shows its price for at checkout. While the apple picking at Crookes Orchard is a flexible seasonal activity, this music performance is a specific, time-bound engagement that concludes an academic assembly. The UConn School of Law Reunion is another significant one-night gathering happening this Saturday.
