Join the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra and an array of cultural, social, business and civic leaders for an unforgettable evening of fine dining and entertainment at the Orchestra’s 11th annual Spring into Music Gala.
We are elated to be honoring Kevin Cummings, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Investors Bancorp and Investors Bank. As a long-standing funder of the Orchestra, Investors and Cummings has supported several major fundraising initiatives, including large-scale annual events and most recently an annual weekend NJSO concert series sponsorship. With the assistance of this partnership the NJSO, Cummings and Investors helps inspire creativity and promote lifelong engagement with live music through education and community engagement programs.
The evening includes a cocktail reception, dinner, silent auction, and culminates in a Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious performance with the Orchestra as they perform the heart-tugging, toe-tapping songs of the beloved film Mary Poppins! This symphonic cinema event features the five-time Oscar-winning classic Disney film unfolding on the big screen as the NJSO performs the charming and delightful musical score.
All proceeds from the gala event will support the NJSO as it enriches lives through its artistic, music education and community engagement programs.
