The New Jersey Capital Philharmonic Orchestra's Chamber Ensemble will be performing three of the most popular works of the Baroque and Classic Periods: Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons," Mozart's "Eine kleine Nachtmusik" and Bach's "Concerto for Two Violins."
Featured soloists for the program will be Vladimir Dyo, the NJCPO concertmaster and Yeseul Ann, principal second violin.
The orchestra was founded in 2013 under the visionary leadership of internationally acclaimed conductor, Daniel Spalding. After living in Trenton for 25 years, Spalding teamed up with a group of passionate local musicians and dedicated civic leaders to bring this new orchestra and organization to life.
With a deep love for classical music and a belief that music has the power to improve the lives of individuals and their communities, Spalding and his team have taken on the ambitious mission of returning classical music to Central Jersey in hopes that it will infuse new life into the capital's business center, strengthen the cultural fabric, and engage and inspire its diverse communities.
In future years, the orchestra looks to further its mission by partnering with public schools in the region to enhance their music education programs.
This show is seventh in a series of 10 free family-friendly concerts running each Saturday at 7 p.m. through Sept. 26 at Capital Green. The series is made possible through a grant awarded by Levitt Pavilions, a national nonprofit dedicated to strengthening the social fabric of America through the power of free, live music.
By creating a vibrant recreational and performance space downtown, the series provides an opportunity for the community to experience the arts.
The diverse series lineup features high caliber talent spanning genres like salsa, jazz, classical, soul, indie rock, electronic and more. Attendees are encouraged to bring a blanket or chair and their favorite foods to dine under the stars on the open-lawn setting.
The Levitt AMP Trenton Music Series is presented by NJM Insurance Group of West Trenton, and is also supported in part by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, the Trenton Downtown Association, the Times of Trenton, the County of Mercer, the City of Trenton, Wells Fargo, Capital Health, Thomas Edison State College, Amerigroup and New Jersey Natural Gas.
