Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association will kick off its popular "Summer Stars" classical series with a classical concert by the New Jersey Wind Symphony (NJWS), on Thursday July 6 at 7:30 pm at the historic Great Auditorium.

"From Sea to Shining Sea" will include works by John Philip Sousa, D.W. Reeves, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Giacomo Puccini, and more. Organist Gordon Turk will be featured on several selections, bringing to life the 13,000 pipes of the Great Auditorium's organ.

Founded in 1983, the NJWS performs an annual series of concerts presenting the very finest in wind band literature for capacity audiences. Ranging from light classics and famous marches, to cutting edge compositions by today's brilliant composers, the band's programming has drawn critical attention for its variety and depth. The quality of NJWS performances has attracted world class soloists from the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, radio and television personalities and other nationally renowned performers and conductors. NJWS has also been active in the commission and performance of new works as well as educational programs and scholarships for young musicians.
