THE BAROQUE ORCHESTRA of NEW JERSEY 2018-2019 Annual Report From Our President I am pleased to share with you the 2018-2019 Annual Report of The Baroque Orchestra of New Jer- sey. As we begin our 24thseason of bringing affordable live music to the community, I want to thank our patrons, partners and sponsors for their support. Without you, we would not be where we are today. Over the past few years, BONJ has continued to grow artistically, as can be discovered by a review of the programs offered, the artists involved and the quality of the performances (clips available on our website, YouTube, Cablevision, e.g.). The Pearl & Julius Young Music Competition, and The Cynthia Platt Scholarship offer young musicians the chance to continue their music education and to perform with the Orchestra. I especially want to highlight two areas where our presence has expanded significantly: Locally: we have performed at Fundraisers for several important organizations including the Madison Area YMCA, Loyola Jesuit Center, United Way of Northern New Jersey, and Life with Joy, Inc. In addition, we have partnered with Morris Arts, Madison Arts & Culture Alliance, Morris Arts and Culture Committee, US National Park Service, Morris Tourism Bureau, among others, to produce programs that combine music with other arts, culture and historical offerings available in our commu- nity. Internationally: driven primarily by Maestro Robert W. Butts's growing recognition as a Conductor, Composer, Professor, and Musician, performances by Maestro Butts and BONJ musicians, and of his music have taken place in London, Venice, Korea, France, Italy, and Poland. -
