The New Jersey Symphony will perform classical favorites, along with Hollywood and Broadway hits, at the 33rd annual Giralda Music & Arts Festival, on Sunday, June 26, 2016, at Giralda Farms in Madison.
Led by conductor Gemma New, the symphony will headline an afternoon that also includes art displays, children’s activities, a best-picnic-theme contest, ice cream from an antique truck, a 50-50 raffle, and more, to benefit the nonprofit Morris Arts.
“It is a wonderful way to herald summer – allowing people to take a real break from their hectic lives, relax on the beautiful lawns of the former Dodge estate, hear glorious music and enjoy time with family and friends – all for a very affordable price,” said Dr. Lynn Siebert of Morris Arts.
Admission at the gate is $20 for adults (over 12); children, $5; under 4, free. Advance prices are $15 for adults (over 12); children, $4; under 4, free.
Tickets are available online from Morris Arts or at (973) 285-5115, x 14, or at Kings Food Markets in Morristown and Chatham, or Gary’s Wine and Marketplace in Madison.
Contact Kadie Dempsey at (973) 285-515, x 17 if you require special accommodations.
Gates open at 4 pm for activities and picnics (no pets or barbecues) and the concert starts at 6 pm, at Dodge Drive and Madison Avenue (Rt. 124).
In case of rain, all events will move to Mennen Arena, at 161 East Hanover Ave., Morris Township. Check the Morris Arts website or call (973) 285-5115 after noontime on show day for weather updates.
