Monday, September 10, 2012 • 12:00am

The Metropolitan Orchestra of New Jersey will begin its 41st season with rehearsals on a new day and time beginning on Monday evening, September 10th at 7:30 pm at the George Bauer Community Center in Taylor Park, 100 Main Street, Millburn.  The orchestra’s conductor, Michael Stratechuk, its concertmaster, Michael Avagliano, and its board are optimistic that the change from Sunday mornings to Monday evenings will offer more volunteer players the opportunity to join the orchestra.

The orchestra’s three concert season will begin with an all-Dvořák  program on December 2, 2012; a French program for March 17th 2013; and a multi-generational program for June 9, 2013.  The venue for the December and March concerts is the Millburn Hill School Auditorium, and the June concert will be held in the newly renovated Millburn Middle School Auditorium.

There are openings for qualified string players in all sections, in particular the violins.  Some openings in the wind and brass sections are expected.
