MORRIS COUNTY โ Morris Arts invites you to wrap up your June activities with live music and art on the beautiful grounds of the Giralda Farms Corporate Park, (the former Dodge Estate). Along with wonderful musical performances, there will be plenty to see and do including childrenโs activities, 50/50, food trucks, an art show, and a sale and picnic contest. This will mark Morris Artsโ 38th Giralda Music & Arts Festival โ and the return to their normal June time slot.
Under the baton of Josรฉ Luis Dominguez, the New Jersey Symphony performance will feature a tribute to Sondheim, Sousaโs ode to his time in New Jersey in โThe Atlantic City Pageantโ and so much more. An inspiring performance by the New Jersey Symphony Youth Orchestraโs Henry Lewis Concerto Competition winner rounds out this concert of favorites the whole family will love.
This yearโs pre-show performance is by Chico Alvarez and the Palomonte Afro-Cuban Big Band. This energetic 13-piece band will re-visit the musical culture of the golden era of traditional Cuban music and present it in a modern contemporary setting.
Morris Artsโ Executive Director, Tom Werder, shared: โWe are thrilled to be hosting Giralda in its June timeslot again with our usual incredible music, art, food, and family-friendly activities! If weโve learned anything over these past couple of years, itโs the value of sharing the unique experience of live performance and art together in person. We canโt wait to see everyone and share the excitement of this beautiful outdoor event,โ he exclaimed.
