Enjoy an evening of absolutely wonderful symphonic music provide "free-of-charge" by the Tri-Cities' own 50 musician symphony - the Newark Symphonic Winds - directed by Richard Wong.

The symphony will be performing all new and exciting compositions. We'll start off with “Welcome to the Jungle” by the rock group, Guns n Roses, followed by a great medley of some of the most popular tunes from the ‘80s. We’ll next perform a wonderful arrangement of the ever-popular standard – “Star Dust”, followed by the Michael Bublé tune – “Haven’t Met You Yet”. We’ll finish the first half with 5 movements from “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey”.
