JOIN US!  Sunday November 3, 2024 at 7 pm at the C.E.C. Glen Ridge

Welcome!

We are an ad-hoc group of professional and serious amateur musicians who meet on selected Sunday evenings to read standard orchestra repertoire, enjoy each other's company and network.  We're under no pressure to perform, although we perform occasionally, and many of our group are regular players in local community orchestras.

 NJRO meets at 7 pm on selected Sunday evenings at Christ Episcopal Church, 74 Park Avenue, Glen Ridge, NJ 07028.


Please join us as we resume reading for fun some symphonies and orchestra standards.  Sunday, November 3, 2024 at 7 pm at Christ Episcopal Church, 74 Park Ave, Glen Ridge
