NJIO was formed in 1994 to allow
musicians of all ages (we have had members from age 6 to 92) and ability
the opportunity to experience the joy of making music together. NJIO allows developing musicians to interact with and learn from more
experienced players in a friendly, non-competitive environment.
Our repertoire is focused on Classical music. NJIO
performs several times a year in Union County venues and travels to
locations such as Lincoln Center Fountain Plaza, the United Nations in
New York, and Washington, D.C. for special performances. In May of
2005 we performed with Peter Schickele at Kean
University. NJIO was also featured in a 2005 documentary entitled
"The Open Road: America Looks at Aging."
