Jefferson Township High School

The Jefferson Arts Committee is very excited to announce that the Hanover Wind Symphony under the direction of Matthew J. Paterno and the Jefferson Township Community Concert Band under the direction of Peter J. Tummillo, Jr. will perform in a joint concert on Monday, May 6 at 7pm in the Jefferson Township High School Auditorium, 1010 Weldon Road, Oak Ridge, NJ. 
For 40 years, the Hanover Wind Symphony has played to enthusiastic audiences in and around greater Morris County and was named The Hidden Gem of Morris County by the Daily Record newspaper. The symphony thrives on sharing their enjoyment of music with live audiences and helps mentor the next generation of wind musicians. Composed exclusively of woodwinds, brass and percussion instruments, the Hanover Wind Symphony delights audiences of all ages as they fulfill their motto “Bringing music to people and people to music” 
 
The Symphony serves the community by playing classic to contemporary music including marches, toe-tappers, and standards while also presenting pieces written by current active composers, some of whom are members of the ensemble. Paterno’s conducting style has been described as “energetic, passionate and uplifting.” He served as the Associate Conductor and Principal Euphonium of the Hanover Wind Symphony from 1998-2008 and then assumed the position of Music Director, the position he currently holds. Visit <a href="https://hanoverwinds.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://hanoverwinds.org</a> 
The Jefferson Township Community Band – one of three performing arts groups under the umbrella of the Jefferson Arts Committee - is celebrating its 33rd anniversary this year since its formation in 1992 by the Jefferson Arts Committee. Tummillo was its original director while still directing the Jefferson Township High School instrumental and marching bands. After a 26-year career with the school, he retired from teaching in 2005 and continues to direct the Community Concert and Jazz Bands.
The music of the concert band encompasses the classics, Broadway musicals, standard marches, and patriotic salutes; and the Concert Band (along with the Jazz Band) traditionally open the Jefferson Arts Committee’s Summer Gazebo Concert Series while the Concert Band performs at every Christmas in the Village event and in a spring concert. Visit <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JeffersonCommunityBand/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/JeffersonCommunityBand/</a> and <a href="https://www.jeffersonarts.org/band.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://www.jeffersonarts.org/band.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.jeffersonarts.org/band.html</a> 
The bands will perform a special musical piece to celebrate Jefferson Township’s 220th
anniversary and it is expected that Jefferson Township Mayor Eric Wilsusen and Township Administrator Deborah Milliken will be in attendance to say a few words about the township’s anniversary. 
Admission at the door is $10 for adults, $7 for senior citizens 65+ and all students with no charge for children 5 and under. If you wish to purchase tickets in advance, please mail a check payable to the Jefferson Arts Committee to PO Box 2604, Oak Ridge, NJ 07438 with a note as to how many tickets you want, your name, address, telephone number and email address so we can confirm receipt. 
If you have any questions, please email <a href="mailto:artscommittee@jeffersonarts.org">artscommittee@jeffersonarts.org</a> or call 973-697-3828.
<a href="https://hanoverwinds.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a>The overall performance promises to offer a very enjoyable and entertaining evening for all age groups -- you don’t want to miss this wonderful opportunity.
