After a stunning debut with us last fall, conductor Ruth Ochs returns to the podium as a Music Director finalist — this time to lead our most festive night of the year.
Celebrate the turning of the year with a program that dances across borders and centuries — from the swirling romance of Strauss’s Blue Danube to fiery selections from Bizet’s Carmen, featuring acclaimed mezzo-soprano Barbara Rearick. This joyful concert is filled with color, flair, and just the right amount of sparkle. And the celebration doesn’t stop when the music ends — raise a glass at our post-concert champagne reception featuring live jazz performed by members of the orchestra.
Candlelight concerts bring the magic of a live, multi-sensory musical experience to awe-inspiring locations like never seen before in Trenton. Get your tickets now to discover the music of Coldplay & Imagine Dragons at the 6:00 pm show, or the Tribute to the Beatles at the 8:30 pm show in the George Washington Ballroom at The War Memorial under the gentle glow of candlelight.
