Also, as you can see, we are debuting our brand new logo this season! Please check out our website, www.cjso.org and ourFacebook page for info about the orchestra and updates on our performances, including our CJSO On-The-Go outreach chamber music program.

We are kicking things off with our first concert of the season on Saturday, November 15, at 7:30 pm at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Basking Ridge. NOTE THAT THIS IS A NEW VENUE FOR US! This concert will feature the wonderful Anita Lyons, soprano, performing Strauss’Four Last Songs.
