At NJIO, we believe in the power of music to bring people together and create lifelong connections. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced musician, NJIO offers a supportive, non-competitive environment where everyone can grow. Our unique tiered ensemble program ensures that musicians of all levels can participate without the pressure of auditions or competition.

As one member, Judy, shares: "I love NJIO because it's stimulating, friendly, and the music we make together is beautiful!" For Roberta, it’s been a chance to rediscover the joy of playing: “Because of NJIO, I am back playing with an orchestra for the first time in 40 years!”

This Giving Tuesday, your contribution will directly support the costs of our 31st season, including renting the historic Crescent Avenue Presbyterian Church in Plainfield for our concerts, compensating our conductors and coaches who guide our musicians, and keeping our concerts free for the public.

Thanks to a generous matching gift from an anonymous NJIO trustee, every donation made between November 25 and December 6 will be matched dollar for dollar—up to $5,000! Our goal is to raise $15,000 including those matching funds, and with your help, we can make that a reality.

Please join us in opening more doors to orchestra, enriching lives through the transformative power of music.

Give today and help us bring the world of orchestral music to more and more people!
