Reflexions francais: A choir of seventy voices with the New Jersey State Opera Orchestra.  

The Summit Music Festival has established itself as a significant artistic force in the New Jersey arts community. The annual event is committed to providing the residents of the Summit area and beyond with high quality artistic and educational experiences that include concerts as well as informative and interactive lectures.

Founded in 2002, the Festival presents choral masterworks to grateful audiences and has received an outstanding reception. The choir is chosen by competitive auditions every summer, rehearses throughout the month of July, and is accompanied by a professional orchestra that opens the Festival with an instrumental prelude, followed by some of the best chorale and orchestral music of the 18^th and 19^th centuries.

Singers from the area are encouraged to participate in the Summit Music Festival experience. See for yourself what makes this a "must do" event: whether you are part of the chorus or an avid fan of classical music.
