PATRICIA TURSE
WHEN: Sunday, Jan. 18. Doors open at 1:30 PM. The recital will be from 2 to 3 PM, followed by a reception.
WHERE: Millburn Free Public Library, 200 Glen Avenue, Millburn, upstairs
ADMISSION: free to attend, but donations will be gratefully received and will benefit the Metropolitan Orchestra of New Jersey’s 2015 fundraising campaign.
The program will be an eclectic mix of musical styles from baroque to Broadway. Ms. Turse will be joined in some selections by Mark Bessett, cello, and Jaclyn Duncan, flute and piano.
The orchestra hopes to raise additional money for expenses such as renting rehearsal and performance space and for paying its professional conductor.
The Metropolitan Orchestra of New Jersey, now enjoying rehearsal space at Chatham Middle School, is an all-volunteer group of about 50 to 60 musicians.
The orchestra is currently rehearsing under the baton of Michael Stratechuck for a concert featuring works of Nordic composers—Sibelius, Grieg, and Nielsen. This concert will be held at Chatham High School, 255 Lafayette Avenue, Chatham Township on March 15, 2015 at 3 PM.
