John Frey Maintains Top Producer Status Across Offices

Coldwell Banker

Veteran broker John Frey has been recognized as a top unit and volume producer for the fourth month this year across the Coldwell Banker Ridgefield and Redding offices, continuing a record of success in the local real estate market. A licensed broker since 1987, Frey is ranked among the top 1.5% of real estate agents nationwide according to RealTrends 2026. He previously served as Chairman of the Connecticut Real Estate Commission and has been honored as Ridgefield Realtor of the Year and Ridgefield Citizen of the Year. Throughout his career, he has built a reputation for market expertise, professionalism, and a client-first approach, helping generations of families navigate important real estate decisions. “John’s performance continues to reflect an exceptional level of professionalism, market expertise, and client dedication,” said Joseph Porricelli, Managing Broker for Coldwell Banker Realty Ridgefield-Redding, Newtown, and Southbury. “His consistent results and long-standing reputation in the community set a standard for excellence across our offices.” Frey’s commitment to personalized service continues to earn strong client loyalty and referrals throughout the region. Much of his business comes from repeat clients and personal recommendations, reflecting the trust he has built over nearly four decades in the industry. “Working with John to sell my parents’ home was such a blessing,” said Andrea Donigian. “He made the entire process far less stressful than I ever imagined and provided valuable guidance every step of the way. His network of trusted professionals was an incredible resource whenever we needed assistance preparing the home for sale.” With decades of experience and local market knowledge, Frey continues to help buyers and sellers achieve their real estate goals throughout the region, generating a steady stream of repeat business and referrals from satisfied clients while remaining one of the area's most recognized real estate professionals.

Complimentary Presentation - Your Retirement Roadmap: Building Wealth and Saving for the Future

The Brewster Summer Music Series invites the community to celebrate the final
concert of the 2026 season on	Wednesday, August 5	, with an unforgettable evening featuring	Lulada Club , an electrifying all-women salsa orchestra bringing the vibrant sounds of Cali, Colombia, to New

York City—and now to Brewster. Led by vocalist and musical director	Andrea Chavarro	, Lulada Club has quickly become one of New York

City's most exciting Latin music ensembles. Founded in 2022, the orchestra was inspired by Chavarro's hometown of	Cali, Colombia	, widely recognized as the world's salsa capital. Seeing a lack of women-led

salsa orchestras in New York's live music scene, she assembled a remarkable group of accomplished musicians to create a high-energy band that celebrates the rich traditions of tropical music while forgingits own distinctive sound.


Known for their dynamic performances, Lulada Club breathes new life into classic salsa, bolero, and cha-cha-cha while also performing original compositions that honor the music's legendary roots. Their infectious rhythms, exceptional musicianship, and joyful stage presence promise an evening of dancing and entertainment for audiences of all ages and experience levels.



To celebrate another successful season, the evening will also feature	Sponsor Recognition Night	,honoring the local businesses whose generous support made the 2026 Brewster Summer Music Seriespossible. The series will also recognize its Community Partners, including	Brewster Cares	, which will be collecting non-perishable food donations to help local families in need.



Bring your family, invite your friends, and join your neighbors for one final summer evening of great music, community spirit, and celebration. Whether you're an experienced salsa dancer or simply looking for a fun night out, Lulada Club will provide the perfect finale to another outstanding Brewster Summer Music Series season.



The Brewster Summer Music Series is presented by the Town of Southeast Cultural Arts Coalition and is free and open to the public. Concerts are held at the gazebo in Southeast Veterans Park in Brewster.

Come help us close out the summer with music, dancing, and community as we celebrate another memorable season together.

The Brewster Summer Music Series continues to bring outstanding local,regional, and nationally recognized musicians to downtown Brewster. Presented by the Town of Southeast Cultural Arts Coalition, the free, family-friendly concerts invite residents and visitors alike to gather for great music and community spirit. Concertgoers are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets and enjoy an evening of exceptional live entertainment under the summer sky.




The Brewster Summer Music Series is one of many programs of the Town of Southeast Cultural Arts Coalition, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating and sustaining cultural arts in the region. Since 2010, the Coalition has led the restoration of the historic Southeast Old Town Hall while presenting hundreds of cultural events through the Studio Around the Corner, the Old Town Hall Theater,​and other local venues. More information about this and other exciting upcoming events can be found at www.culturalartsco.com.




The Brewster Summer Music Series is made possible through the generous support of local businesses and community members, including Burke Energy, Guardian Veterinary Specialists, Brewster Animal Hospital, Ace Endico, Byram Concrete &amp; Supply, Air Professional Associates, Tompkins Bank, Edward Jones Financial, Suburban Carting, Handcrafted Cabinetry, Kobacker’s Market, and Tom and Jerry’s Irish House, along with supports Brewster Rotary and Suburban Propane.
