For the past 38 years, Spyro Gyra has performed over5000 shows and released 29 albums, their latest being A Foreign Affair. The award winning jazz band is led by saxophonist and founder Jay Beckenstein.

Says Beckenstein, “I’ve always felt that music, and particularly instrumental music, has this non-literal quality that lets people travel to a place where there are no words. Whether it’s touching their emotions or connecting them to something that reminds them of something much bigger than themselves, there’s this beauty in music that’s not connected to sentences.”

Founded in 1924 as Sussex County’s premier entertainment venue, The Newton Theatre presents a wide range of programs that entertain, enrich and educate the diverse population of the region and enhance the economic vitality of Northern New Jersey.
