The Great American Songbook: Reimagined in the Square
Military Park (51 Park Place) in Newark

Join the New Jersey Symphony Brass Quintet for a magical evening of music in the heart of the city as they bring their signature artistry to the Square with a fresh take on the Great American Songbook.

This special performance blends classical finesse with jazz-infused flair, breathing new life into timeless favorites by Gershwin, Ellington, Porter, and more. It’s a celebration of American musical heritage — reimagined with style, soul, and symphonic sophistication.
