From traditional to pops, choral favorites, renowned tenor fare, and dancing by guests from Dance Theater of Harlem, the winter season of NJ Festival Orchestra concerts will fill the entire family with warmth and cheer.
On Saturday, December 15th at 7 p.m., New Jersey Festival Orchestra kicks off the holiday season in Westfield with a bang and plenty of bling with Return of the Holiday Tenors, a family festival of traditional and contemporary songs and music, sing-alongs and more.
The concert features Metropolitan Opera’s award-winning tenor John Easterlin, who returns to NJFO with friends to celebrate and captivate with a dazzling selection of renowned tenor classics. Traditional carols, signature versions of familiar fare and a host of wintertime curiosities are also sure to delight.
“We are thrilled to welcome The Three Holiday Tenors – each more talented than the next – to help us welcome in the Holiday season,” said Maestro David Wroe. “We believe there is something for everyone in this performance. Our concert is a vessel for children, parents, grandparents and friends — indeed the entire community — to come together through music at this unique time of the year.”
This seasonal stroll of timeless classics and sentimental favorites, which also features a special chorus from students at Franklin Elementary school, is sure to bring joy, smiles, and distinctive holiday memories to one and all. The celebration has been made possible in part by a Union County Heart (History, Education and Arts Reaching Thousands) grant, and support from The Westfield Foundation.
The concert takes place on Saturday, December 15 at 7 p.m. at The Presbyterian Church in Westfield. It will also be performed on Sunday afternoon, December 16 at 4pm at St Peters Church in Morristown. Ticket prices range from $30 to $76 for adults and there is a special discount price of only $15 for students K-12.
