"Greetings!" from Maestro Knapp

Eric Dale KnappWhat makes each New Jersey Choral Society performance so moving?  Combine the imagination of music and all it promises with Eric Knapp with Linda Sweetman-Waters, accompanistthe passion and excellence of our musicians. Then tie it together with a common bond – the shared emotion and experience of our audience. The motto with which Ludwig von Beethoven prefaced his Missa Solemnis - "From the heart, to the heart" - best shares the sentiment of our season. LUX, the golden light that is a paragon of hope and peace, will communicate the humanitarian message of music into the daily lives and consciousness of our listeners. Please join us for concerts that offer a bright light in an era of great change, embodied in music of hope and goodwill. The world may change but the human heart remains.

Regards,
Eric Dale Knapp
Artistic Director
