Music is filling the air at the main house once again through our Second Sundays Music Program. Earlier this month, we welcomed the beautiful sounds from The Montclair Orchestra, leaving everyone excited for the next guests to perform.
We'd like to take a moment to thank everyone who so generously provided donations during the concert. Our hearts are filled by your kindness along with the notes we receive with how our gardens and programming have enriched your lives.
“We look forward to your future support of musicians, young artists and composers.” Thank you for your support of the Montclair Orchestra event.

Tickets will soon be available for our November 14th show.
