Waterbury Symphony Orchestra announces the appointment of Executive Director, Heidi Stubner |
|
The Waterbury Symphony Orchestra is pleased to announce that it has selected Heidi Stubner as its new Executive Director, following an extensive executive search process led by the WSO. Her tenure began on July 1.
As a multi-faceted executive administrator and professional musician, Ms. Stubner has enjoyed an extensive career as a violinist in New York’s free-lance community. She was a long-time member of the American Symphony Orchestra, the Bard Festival, and numerous Broadway shows as well as a recitalist and chamber musician both nationally and abroad. For over a decade, she was the Founder, Artistic and Executive Director of the Hudson Highlands Music Festival in the Hudson River Valley.
"I am delighted that Heidi Stubner will be joining the WSO as Executive Director. She brings a wealth of experience and musical knowledge to the organization and tremendous energy and enthusiasm to our artistic and educational mission," said WSO Music Director & Conductor Leif Bjaland.
Ms. Stubner served as Managing Director of Horizon Concerts, an organization that brought music to neglected audiences in New York City, including nursing homes, senior centers, homeless shelters, and AIDS hospices.
Ms. Stubner’s dedication and commitment to reaching underserved communities was reflected in her development of music programs for at-risk children from the Break Aways program in Manhattan and public schools throughout the Hudson River Valley. Her innovative approach to strategic artistic partnerships and fundraising during her nine-year tenure as Assistant Dean at Manhattan School of Music demonstrated her commitment to the development of young musicians though live music
In an administrative and performing capacity, she has worked with artists including Kurt Masur, Jessye Norman, Andrea Bocelli, The Roots, Harvey Fierstein, Bernadette Peters, Reba McEntire, and Audra McDonald. Before joining the WSO, Ms. Stubner was the Vice President and Associate Director of the Medical Musician Initiative based in NYC. She is a passionate champion for enhancing healing through integrated critical care that incorporates music as medicine
“I am honored to be joining such a passionate and dedicated team of Board of Directors, artists and administrators,” said Ms. Stubner. “I am excited to dive into the Waterbury community and further the mission that already is the WSO.” She plans to actively immerse herself in the Waterbury community. “As a Connecticut native, it is thrilling to renew my connection and commitment to this region. Through our collective endeavors we will bring much joy to our community from age one to 101.’’

Charter Oak State College RN/ADN to BSN Program
Receives Full Accreditation
|
Charter Oak State College (www.CharterOak.edu), received official word recently that its RN/ADN to BSN program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
Linda Perfetto, PhD, RN, CNE, CNOR, FAADN, Director, RN/ADN to BSN at Charter Oak State College said of the news, “This is a tremendous achievement for our program and the College. CCNE accreditation is a mark of distinction for Baccalaureate and higher programs in nursing. It reflects that our program meets the highest industry standards and ensures a high-quality learning experience for our students.” Perfetto explained that, “Accreditation is typically a requirement for entrance into Graduate programs. Charter Oak graduates will be well prepared and positioned to continue to pursue their goals in their chosen career field at the highest level.”
The Charter Oak State College RN/ADN to BSN program is an online program combined with a practicum experience component for RNs (Registered Nurses) seeking to advance their education to the baccalaureate level. In addition, the program addresses the increasing need for baccalaureate prepared nurses nationwide. Its core nursing courses were developed to meet the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials of Baccalaureate Education (AACN, 2008). The program specifically addresses the gap between an Associate Degree in nursing and the Baccalaureate Degree in nursing by addressing health care policy, evidence-based practice, population health, continuous quality improvement, safety, interprofessional collaboration, and leadership within the health care system.
Sixty-seven students are currently enrolled in the program. The program is now accepting applications for classes beginning August 26, 2021

Comcast Launches Flag Replacement Program |
If your flag has seen better days, though, our Comcast technicians are looking for those tattered flags as we recently launched a free Flag Replacement Program.
The effort is led by employees who participate in our Veterans Network Employee Resource Group known as “VetNet”. VetNet members include Comcast employees who are military veterans, active participants in the Reserves, military family members and other supporters of the military community.
If a Comcast technician notices a worn-out flag at a home or business, the technician shares the location with our flag replacement team, who contacts the individual or business and offers to replace it – for free – whether that resident or business is a customer or not. What’s more, the old flags are retired in accordance with military protocols.
Our Comcast technicians are looking to replace worn American flags throughout our Western New England region, which includes more than 300 communities in Connecticut, Vermont, western Massachusetts, western New Hampshire and the Carmel, New York area. In just a few weeks since the program launched, our team has replaced over 20 American flags!
So worn or not, make sure to fly your flag high and proud – and you never know, you could be receiving a phone call from one of our VetNet members.

Quassy Announces Largest Project in Its History |
Quassy Amusement & Waterpark unveiled this week what will be the single largest investment in the park’s 113-year history.
Quassy President Eric Anderson announced that the family-owned property would build a new water raft ride in Quassy’s Splash Away Bay waterpark for the 2022 season.
“This new attraction will actually be what is recognized in our industry as a water coaster,” Anderson said. “It will incorporate some of the latest technology in waterslides with features we’ve never presented at the park. And when I said water coaster, it will be just that as water jets will actually push the rafts up a number of inclines.”
The park official emphasized that the capital investment – though no hard figures were released – will be the largest in the park’s history for an attraction.
Construction of the yet-to-be-named project will start in the fall and is expected to be completed in time for Splash Away Bay’s opening next spring.
