The Somerset Symphony Orchestra performs at local venues several times a year, bringing our love of music to our community! https://www.somersetsymphony.org/about daily 0.75 2025-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601872f5f6d4492a8192fc2a/1624991817002-UPH0MZXK2VUFPCY0E8X7/Copy+of+2019_CJSO_49th_Drew_0745_web.jpg About: Somerset Symphony Orchestra - The unifying power of music. Founded in 1970 as the Somerset County College Orchestra by Fred Stillwell and Donald Bowers, our members come from seven counties across New Jersey. Daniel Schuman served as the first music director. Upon his retirement in 1985, the orchestra changed its name to the Central Jersey Symphony. Roger Briscoe, Professor of Music at the college, became Music Director and began a closer association between the CJSO and Raritan Valley Community College. For sixteen seasons the orchestra presented concerts performing the standard orchestral repertoire. At its Gala 10th anniversary concert (under the new name) in May 1995, the orchestra completed a cycle of the nine Beethoven symphonies with a sold-out performance of the Ninth Symphony. In the following year, it presented an acclaimed concert of "Music of the Holocaust at Terezin". In 1998, the orchestra began a cultural exchange with Lithuania, presenting Lithuanian guest artists making their U.S. debut. These artists were then accompanied by Maestro Briscoe on two trips back to Lithuania. In 2002, with a need for greater autonomy, the Somerset Symphony re-organized as an independent nonprofit organization. The events of September 11, 2001 had taken a severe toll on the orchestra's funding, and the newly-formed Board of Directors found itself in a unique position: leading a long-established arts organization with a brand-new artistic mission. During the following six seasons, the SSO began to perform in various venues around Somerset County, including the Somerset County Vocational-Technical School, Bridgewater-Raritan High School, and Bridgewater-Raritan Middle School. During Dr. Briscoe's sabbatical leave in 2004-05, concertmaster Michael Avagliano stepped onto the podium for the first time to lead the orchestra. His work with the ensemble was so outstanding he was asked to become the SSO's third Music Director upon Briscoe's retirement, beginning with the 2008-09 season. The orchestra returned to the Nash Theatre at RVCC for Dr. Briscoe's final concert in May 2008. With the continuing leadership of the Board of Directors and Music Director Michael Avagliano, the SSO now performs concerts throughout Somerset County, with a home base at United Reformed Church in Somerville. In addition, the orchestra remains committed to presenting New Jersey artists and composers, including some of today's finest young musicians. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601872f5f6d4492a8192fc2a/72b049be-6075-4a84-a712-cb201c5a4163/Action+shot+1A.JPG About: Somerset Symphony Orchestra https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601872f5f6d4492a8192fc2a/1624992178571-IMZVCI1GVRQN8M5KRZ4N/Copy+of+2019_CJSO_49th_Drew_0218_web.jpg About: Somerset Symphony Orchestra - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.somersetsymphony.org/contact-us daily 0.75 2025-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601872f5f6d4492a8192fc2a/1624991287102-E0MBE9U91CRBUWBLFL48/Copy+of+2019_CJSO_49th_Drew_1095_web.jpg Contact - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.somersetsymphony.org/gallery-1 daily 0.75 2026-07-11 https://www.somersetsymphony.org/donate daily 0.75 2026-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601872f5f6d4492a8192fc2a/1624992178571-IMZVCI1GVRQN8M5KRZ4N/Copy+of+2019_CJSO_49th_Drew_0218_web.jpg Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601872f5f6d4492a8192fc2a/1624993127510-MR31Y5DXDZYXSUMA3BTI/Copy%252Bof%252B2019_CJSO_49th_Drew_0630_web.jpg Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601872f5f6d4492a8192fc2a/1624990971653-UK2VCOCF6F2J9KHPWHEX/Copy%2Bof%2B2019_CJSO_49th_Drew_0900_web.jpg Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601872f5f6d4492a8192fc2a/76c7dbaf-228b-4b69-bd7f-a3d57dca6a15/AdobeStock_123241131+%281%29.jpeg Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601872f5f6d4492a8192fc2a/1624991817002-UPH0MZXK2VUFPCY0E8X7/Copy%2Bof%2B2019_CJSO_49th_Drew_0745_web.jpg Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601872f5f6d4492a8192fc2a/1624990794332-1U5WIRRAQW09RXNNHPHI/Copy+of+2019_CJSO_49th_Drew_0953_web.jpg Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601872f5f6d4492a8192fc2a/1624991287102-E0MBE9U91CRBUWBLFL48/Copy+of+2019_CJSO_49th_Drew_1095_web.jpg Donate
