KEAN UNIVERSITY OPENS ENLOW RECITAL HALL SEASON

Last spring, I attended a gala concert at Enlow Hall on the East Campus of Kean University. It is located in the chapel of the old Pingry School and is a beautiful venue to hear concerts. The stunning 312-seat concert space creates an intimate performance experience for audiences, with close proximity to the lineup of world-class musicians and virtuosos of tomorrow. Enlow Hall features a hand-crafted Fazioli piano and state-of-the-art recording studio. The acoustics are amazing. It is just off Morris Avenue on the line between Union and Hillside. Easy to get to and easy on the ears. Music-lovers: this is just the ticket for you!

Kean University launches its 2010-2011 Enlow Recital Hall season on September 25 with a special Opening Night performance by classical crossover chamber musicians Ahn Trio.
