We have just completed our annual winter concert with our presentation of “Winter Wonderland”, including selections from Beethoven, Holst, Milhaud, Anderson, Bizet and others. Our guest conductor was Dr. John Pastin, retired from the US Navy Band.

The weather was typical for this time of the year with ice and rain, but the audience was in abundance and very appreciative.

We will provide information about our next performance on February 7th, 2010, our “Children’s Concert” with conductor Jennifer Eidel.

Our concerts are made possible, in part, by funds from the New Jersey State Council on on the Arts/Department of State, a partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts, and are administered by the Somerset County Cultural and Heritage Commission through the State/County Partnership Local Arts Program. Support is also received from the Jointure for the Community Adult Education.
