New Jersey Symphony String Residency Brings Joy and Wonder to Students
The New Jersey Symphony brought music to life at P.G. Chambers School with a String Residency. Students had the opportunity to see, hear, and interact with string instruments like the violin and cello as they moved along to classics like “If You’re Happy and You Know It” and Joplin’s “The Entertainer.” Thank you to David Southorn, Francine Stock, Christine Terhune, Jonathan Spitz, and Jonathan Stork for creating a joyful musical experience for our students!
