Lakeland Youth Symphony is excited to be marking 65 Years as Morris County’s Youth Orchestra.

On Saturday, April 22nd, here at the Historic Palace Theatre, join us as we celebrate music and theatre with performances from Lakeland’s Symphony Orchestra and The Growing Stage’s performing artists. Plus, we’ll have a silent auction, hors d’oeuvres, desserts, wine and beer, raffles, and more!

As one of the oldest youth orchestras in the country, we would love to celebrate this milestone with our families, alumni, and supporters of the arts at our 65th Anniversary Gala. (Doors open at 6pm with performances from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. at the The Growing Stage, 7 Ledgewood Ave, Netcong, NJ)

As we continuously work to broaden our ability in expanding our audience’s exposure to the performing arts, new and existing artistic collaborations are vital. The Gala will celebrate music and the stage with string performances from our Prelude and Symphony Orchestra members and members of The Growing Stage Children’s Theater as just a few of the highlights of the evening. Testimonials from alumni, guest speakers, and a commemorative slideshow with pictures from past and present will complete the celebration.

Proceeds from the Gala will go directly back to Lakeland, your children, and the arts programs at the Growing Stage! Here’s how you can help make this Gala a success:
