The Community Artist Orchestra is comprised of professional musicians, music educators, and students from Northern New Jersey and New York.  The program will support Notes for Change, Inc., a nonprofit organization that aims to increase access to music education by working in local communities with professional musicians, teachers, and music educators.  The event is sponsored by the Northern New Jersey Youth Orchestra.

Thornhill and Baer, both graduates of Columbia High School, will be returning to the school to perform together with other CHS Alumni who are professional musicians, among other performers.  The founder of the nonprofit Notes for Change, Inc., Elizabeth Moulthrop, is also a CHS grad.  This concert will be the first concert to take place in the newly renovated Columbia High School Auditorium.

Terrence Thornhill is currently completing his Masters Degree at SUNY Purchase Conservatory of Music.  Daniel Baer is a doctoral candidate at the Eastman School of Music.
