Perhaps you’ve seen actor Caroline Kinsolving in one of the plays, films, and television shows that have featured her. Perhaps you’ve taken yoga with her in Salisbury, or met her out and about with her writer parents, William and Susan Kinsolving. No matter where she’s caught your eye, you’d remember it, as did concert violinist Gary Capozziello. 

As artists, there were many places where the two might have met, including at The Hotchkiss School, where Susan Kinsolving has been poet in residence for many years, and where Capozziello is a teacher—when he isn’t performing as assistant concert master with the Hartford Symphony.

Music was on the menu when the couple were married this past June in Salisbury: A 13-piece chamber orchestra played Copland’s Appalachian Spring. And as befits the wedding of a performer, the weather provided some drama—though the evening ended with a strawberry full moon and a symphony of fireflies.
