Youth Orchestras of Essex County at SOPAC May 18

The Youth Orchestras of Essex County, the longest-operating youth orchestra in New Jersey, will hold its annual spring concert at SOPAC (South Orange Performing Arts Center) on Sunday, May 18 at 4 pm. 


Talented young musicians aged 7 – 18 from our area, including many from Maplewood and South Orange, will be playing beautiful music in this concert.  


Three symphonic orchestras are joined this year by the ABC ensemble; this group explores the joys of music from around the world, allowing the musicians the opportunity to play non-traditional instruments on pieces that are “Anything But Classical”.
