NJIO Holiday Concert
SATURDAY December 13th @ 2PM

Have your family join ours in a Summit holiday tradition! Enjoy a concert of family-friendly holiday classics like Carol of the Bells, Vivaldi’s Winter, and “Here Comes Santa Claus!” Clap along to the Radetzky March, sing along to Christmas favorites, and join in the music by playing along to “Sleigh Ride.” After the concert, stay for the Instrument Petting Zoo, where curious future musicians of all ages can try out string, woodwind, and brass instruments for themselves.

Come as you are, leave with your spirits raised!
