SUMMER CHAMBER MUSIC FOR STRINGS AT THE MIDDLETOWN ARTS CENTER

 

The New Jersey State Youth Orchestra (NJSYO) will be running a summer music chamber ensemble for strings players. The chamber ensemble is a small group where musicians learn to work together in a more intimate environment with a conductor who works closely with the students on an individual basis. The repertoire is eclectic with selections from rock, pop and jazz as well as the traditional classical.
