As the music and entertainment curator for popular local music events, festivals, and venues, I book and recommend musicians, bands, choirs, dance troupes, dance instructors, and other entertainers to the event planners and managers seeking live entertainment.  For the Stamford ARTWALK, Heritage Park and Latham Park music events, performers are listed on the city's website and are promoted in press, printed materials, and social media campaigns.  Make Music Day at Latham Park events are promoted on the SDSS website and social media. Thank you for keeping music and the arts alive in our communities.  - Barbara Occhino, Music & Entertainment Curator
