Wilton Library is pleased to announce the return of its popular free Sunday concert series, Connecticut’s Own, Nov. 6, from 4 to 5 p.m. with three of Wilton’s own – Ralph Kirmser on oboe, Kyle Noble on piano and Jessica Raposo on flute. None of the performers are strangers to Wilton Library’s audience, each having played on the Brubeck Room stage previously, either as soloists or as part of other chamber groups. The trio will be playing selections from Simon A. Sargon, Madeleine Dring, Astor Piazzolla and Jean-Michel Damase.
