Livingston Symphony Orchestra Concert: "A Grand Farewell"

Culminating thirty years of dedication to and affection for the Livingston Symphony Orchestra, Maestro Istvan Jaray leads  his final concert as Music Director and Principal Conductor of the orchestra on May 31 at 7:30pm in the Livingston High School Auditorium.  As a conductor, Maestro Jaray has shared his life experience with orchestra members and audiences, a journey which began in a Soviet occupied Hungary. With a personal and emotional connection to the classics that is evident at both rehearsals and performances, he readily and frequently  acknowledges his heartfelt  appreciation for all the freedoms inherent in our society.  His passion and communication through music has taken the Livingston Symphony to a level respected by surrounding communities, musicians and audiences alike.  Selected works for his grand farewell event include Gustav Mahler’s Symphony #1, “Titan”, and F. Joseph Haydn’s Symphony #45, “Farewell.”
