Classical Season Celebration
The Classical Season Celebration brings music lovers together to celebrate the diverse and rich performances of State Theatre New Jersey’s classical offerings.
This annual fundraising event supports the continued success of our year-round classical and educational programming—including our Symphony Scholars program—key elements of our work to provide access to live arts experiences for our community.
This year’s event, held on Thursday, October 17, 2024, was a magical experience, set in the intimate atmosphere of our Studio, illuminated by the soft glow of hundreds of candles. The unique setting allowed for a deeply personal and immersive connection with the incomparable performance of pianist Enriqueta Somarriba, creating an unforgettable evening. Enriqueta’s passion and technical brilliance captivated us all, leaving us with a profound appreciation for the power of live classical performance. Thank you to everyone that supported this event.
To make an impact through the power of live performance, please make a contribution here or contact Leah Anglum at langlum@stnj.org.
Save the date for next year's magical night!
