Founded over 60 years ago, the Blue Notes are a group of women who use their voices for a good cause. Singing 4-part harmony, covering music from Big Band to Broadway, the group performs at senior centers and assisted living venues throughout Southern Fairfield County, as well as at the DCA. Their director – Dr. Craig Scott Symons – is also the director of the First Congregational Church of Greenwich choir.
The DCA is proud to have the Blue Notes as a key part of our philanthropic mission.
Current members are:
Musical Director/Accompanist: Craig Symons

Upcoming performances
The Blue Notes wrapped up their performances in May and celebrated their successful spring trouping season with a festive luncheon at Cesco’s Trattoria in Darien. They look forward to their end of the year dinner party in June where they gather to perform for their spouses and friends.
Performances will begin again in the fall – stay tuned for details!
