“It was phenomenal,” said Shelley Massey, who has 2 daughters who graduated Quinnipiac and a son who is a sophomore advertising major at the university. “Everyone I spoke with was really happy.”

The concert benefited the Parents’ Association Scholarship Fund, which provides financial support for current students — several of whom were recognized before the show.

The concert celebrated the fusion of classical music with classic rock, and featured the Hartford Symphony Orchestra, five world-class vocalists and five top rock musicians.

ROCKTOPIA will next perform at the Broadway Theatre for a 6-week engagement, March 20-April 29.
