For the first time, the Whitehouse Wind Symphony, a community symphonic band directed by Branchburg resident James P. Sheeley, Jr., will be performing a free concert at White Oak Park! This exciting event is being presented by Branchburg’s Department of Recreation, and will take place on Tuesday, June 28th at 7pm.
This concert is free and open to the general public, although a good-will offering will be taken to benefit the band, a non-profit group comprised entirely of volunteer musicians. Attendees are encouraged to bring picnic blankets and chairs. The concert will feature music from Broadway, including selections from Les Misérables, The Sound of Music, and much more! Patriotic music will also be featured as a precursor to the upcoming Fourth of the July. Concertgoers of all ages, from the youngest to the young at heart, are encouraged to attend. In the event of inclement weather, the announcement to cancel the concert will be made on the band’s website and Facebook page.
The ensemble was founded by conductor emeritus Casey Bork on April 15, 1996. Since its founding, the band has grown rapidly, attracting experienced musicians as regular members from all over New Jersey, as well as New York City and eastern Pennsylvania. It is now comprised of approximately 50 amateur and professional musicians who perform together regularly to enthusiastic audiences throughout central and northern New Jersey. It was recently voted the winner of the “Hunterdon Happening” list in the category of favorite musician/band for the second consecutive year.
