Direct beneficiaries per year: 100 students

Geographic areas served: Essex County, NJ

Programs: We are three orchestras and one ensemble of more than 90 musicians from eighteen towns, led by five outstanding conductors who make beautiful classical - more! - music on Mondays and Wednesdays during the school year. We play four concerts to a combined audience of about 700 people in the Winter and Spring. Two of our annual concerts are held at South Orange Performing Arts Center (SOPAC), and the others are community service performances.
