Greater Newark Youth Orchestras perform winter concert
The Greater Newark Youth Orchestras presented their 24th annual winter concert on Sunday, December 8, at the Union County Performing Arts Center in Rahway for an audience of nearly 800. The concert showcased the student musicians of the three ensembles of the NJSO’s youth-orchestra family—the Greater Newark Youth Orchestra (GNYO), Greater Newark Chamber Orchestra (GNCO) and Greater Newark Violin Ensemble (GNVE). Students in NJSO CHAMPS (Character, Achievement and Music Project)—the NJSO’s El Sistema-inspired intensive music education program—gave a special performance at the concert.
