The 2014 holiday season at Drumthwacket will showcase New Jersey's vibrant cultural arts community ... "The holidays at Drumthwacket are a timeless tradition that the Governor and I enjoy very much," said First Lady Mary Pat Christie. "We are so fortunate to have such a strong and vibrant cultural arts community represented in part, by our collaborative organizations, which bring excellence in dance, music and theater to audiences throughout the Garden State. This year, we are especially pleased that visitors to the historic residence will have the opportunity to experience the collective artistry of these fine groups."
The New Jersey Tomato Press reviews the NJSO-designed music room:
Music Room (Presented by New Jersey Symphony Orchestra and the West Trenton Garden Club with designs by David Mitchell, Still Life Event Design,NJ): Bravo! Mr. Francis Scott Key, even after 200 years, you never looked so good as your National Anthem: “The Star Spangled Banner,” still rings true today! In honor of this patriotic song, the Music Room is transformed into a musical fantasy complete with a holiday tree spun from sheet music and accoutrements made from recycled materials central to West Trenton Garden Club’s environmentally conscious “Choices Make Changes” theme.
"We are delighted to partner with New Jersey Theatre Alliance, New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, New Jersey Ballet, and, by tradition, the New Jersey Garden Club for this year's holiday décor," Robyn Brenner, Executive Director of the Drumthwacket Foundation, told New Jersey Stage. "Visitors will delight in touring the residence as each room reflects the creative spirit of these wonderful organizations."
