Since its founding in 1983, New Jersey Festival Orchestra has grown to become the state’s second largest professional orchestra and a cultural gem of the metropolitan area.  The orchestra, led by renowned Music Director David Wroe, appears at local venues and as far afield as Carnegie Hall on a regular basis.  In addition to an exciting subscription season of popular concerts, and a rousing New Year’s Eve celebration, the NJ Festival Orchestra sponsors educational and music therapy programs throughout the state.

Cited by The Star-Ledger as “the leading professional freelance orchestra in NJ”, the organization has been recognized by the NJ State Council on the Arts as a Distinguished Arts Organization and is the resident orchestra of Union County.
