NJIO's spring concert will feature performances by three of NJIO’s ensembles: Symphony Orchestra, Intermezzo Orchestra, and Prelude Ensemble. NJIO offers a broad range of musical experiences for its members. There are three tiered orchestras that allow musicians of all levels to participate in orchestral performances and grow as musicians.
The Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Artistic Director Warren Cohen, will play the Taras Bulba Overture by Ukrainian composer Mykola Lysenko. The Symphony Orchestra will also perform En Saga and Finlandia by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius.
NJIO’s intermediate group, Intermezzo Orchestra, conducted by Brian McGowan, will present Hornpipe and Air from Henry Purcell’s Suite to Adbelazer and Rimsky-Korsakov's Dubinushka.
The Prelude Ensemble, NJIO’s entry-level group, is conducted by Elizabeth Maliszewski. They will perform folk songs and short works by Murch, Sweeney, and Meyer.
NJIO is committed to ensuring that its programs and concerts are accessible. For more information regarding the concert or to inquire about patron services, please contact NJIO at info@njio.org, or visit NJIO’s website http://njio.org.
