Mark it on your calendar: NJIO’s first concert of the season is Sunday, November 15th at 3pm.  Symphony, conducted by Artistic Director Warren Cohen, will play works by Beethoven, Kallinikov, and Lalo.  The orchestra will accompany cellist Heechan Ku, the second-place winner of NJIO’s annual Young Artist Concerto Competition, on the Lalo Cello Concerto.
