Our 2024 Wassail concert features music from the 18th through the 21st centuries.

Exact pieces are still to be determined but will be works of composers Johann Sebastian Bach, Antonio Vivaldi, Teresa Carreño, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, and Ting Ho.

Ting Ho’s deligthful Concertino Morning will feature bassoonist Andrew Pecota and oboist Nancy Vanderslice.   Andrew commissioned the work from Ting Ho in 2015.  It is for strings plus solo oboe and lupophone, a new instrument for which this was one of the very first compositions.  BONJ premiered the work in 2015.

The Baroque Orchestra of New Jersey is performing Concertino Morning in memory of our friend and colleague Ting Ho who passed away in February 2023.

The Baroque Orchestra of New Jersey was founded in 1996 with music of the 17^th and 18^th century at its core.  The group performs a variety of genres from concertos to symphonies to operas.  Under the auspices of its Pearl and Julius Young Music Competition, the organization has nurtured the talent of many promising young musicians.  Under the guidance of its Artistic Director Maestro Butts, the orchestra’s repertoire has expanded to include 20^th century and modern pieces by the likes of Joaquin Rodrigo and others.
