Mark it on your calendar: NJIO’s first concert of 2018 is Sunday, February 18th at 3:00 pm at Summit Middle School. Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Artistic Director Warren Cohen, will perform works by Coleridge-Taylor and Smetana and will feature the NJIO Festival Chorus. Intermezzo Orchestra will perform pieces by Offenbach and Vivaldi.

About NJIO
NJIO, now in its 24th season, has been recognized as a national leader in intergenerational excellence through its unique approach to teaching musical performance. Not only do the members aged 8 to 80 play together, but they also mentor one another. In addition to providing free concerts and outreach to the community, NJIO has been invited to perform at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. and at the United Nations, and was a finalist for the Eisner Prize for Intergenerational Excellence. NJIO welcomes new members of all ages and abilities each concert period to one of its several orchestras—no auditions needed!
This program is made possible by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.
