After playing to nearly sold-out crowds at the 2008 Talcott Mountain Music Festival, vocal quartet Spectrum will return to the play a night of Motown and R&B hits with the HSO on Friday, July 9, 2010. This show will combine the chart-topping hits of the Temptations, the Four Tops, the Drifters, and, new this year, a tribute to Michael Jackson.
