An Ensemble for
Every Musician

Whether you're just beginning your musical journey or have years of performance experience, there's a place for you at NJIO.

Prelude

Musicians in Prelude play at a beginning level, have a basic understanding of notes and rhythms and are ready to begin playing in an ensemble. No previous ensemble experience is required. The repertoire includes arrangements of short classical pieces and fiddle tunes. Prelude is also great for people who are returning back to playing.

Musicians in intermezzo play at an advanced beginner and intermediate level. The repertoire includes arrangements of classical pieces.

Symphony
