HARTT’S GOT TALENT
12th Annual Gala
Saturday, October 19, 2013
The Hartford Marriott Downtown

Each year, the entire Hartt community joins together to celebrate the performing arts at Hartt and to ensure Hartt's bright future.  We invite faculty and staff of the University of Hartford to be part of this year’s magic.  Hartt's 12th Annual Gala, Hartt's Got Talent, will take place on Saturday evening, Oct. 19, at the Hartford Marriott Downtown, and will be a wonderful evening of exciting performances by Hartt faculty and students, as well as fine dining and the area's most unique and distinctive live and silent auctions.

Governor Dannel P. Malloy and Cathy Malloy are Honorary Chairs for this year’s event, and University of Hartford President Walter Harrison and Dianne Harrison, along with University alumnus and Hartford Mayor Pedro Segarra,  are Honorary Co-Chairs.

The Rhoda and David Chase Family Foundation is the Presenting Sponsor.  Hoffman Audi and TD Bank are Gold Sponsors.

This evening is part of the University of Hartford’s Hawktober Weekend for alumni and parents.

Thanks to Hartt's gala sponsors, supporters, and guests, last year's Gala raised an unprecedented total of $118,000!  We look forward to another record-breaking year.  Funds raised from this year’s Gala will be used to support Hartt School scholarships, tuition assistance, and educational programming.
