The Harp Recital, originally to be held on January 18, has been rescheduled for Sunday, January 25th at 2 pm at the Millburn Free Public Library, 200 Glen Avenue, Millburn, upstairs. Accomplished harpist Patricia Turse will present music by Albeniz, Bach, Britten, Handel, and Kodaly. Doors open at 1:30 p.m. The recital will be from 2 to 3 p.m., followed by a reception. Ms. Turse will be joined in some selections by John Pivarnik, piano. The recital is free to attend, but donations will be gratefully received and will benefit the Metropolitan Orchestra of New Jersey’s 2015 fundraising campaign. If unable to attend, donations can be mailed to Metropolitan Orchestra of New Jersey at P. O. Box 6, Short Hills, New Jersey 07078. The event is being sponsored by the Investors Bank Millburn Office, Kim Kaminsky, Branch Manager. The orchestra hopes to raise additional money for expenses such as renting rehearsal and performance space and for paying its professional conductor. The Metropolitan Orchestra of New Jersey, now enjoying rehearsal space at Chatham Middle School, is an all-volunteer group of about 50 to 60 musicians. The orchestra is currently rehearsing under the baton of Michael Stratechuck for a concert featuring works of Nordic composers—Sibelius, Grieg, and Nielsen. This concert will be held at Chatham High School, 255 Lafayette Avenue, Chatham Township on March 15, 2015 at 3 pm.
