2008 Season
Music Director Jed Gaylin has developed a music package for 2008 that increased the scope and depth of the previous year’s experience. The power of the 2008 season resided in the two symphonic concerts, both of which include larger, more varied levels of sound. The Italian Opera Extravaganza will incorporate a minimum of two superb opera singers to help create an extraordinary event, unparalleled in South Jersey. The Tchaikovsky Jubilee will bring together the very large, exceptionally talented orchestra as well as a world-class soloist to make the music soar.
