ABOUT THE
RIVERSIDE SYMPHONIA
"The setting was wonderfully
appropriate. The finale...was everything one could
want, a joyous sprint to an eminently satisfying musical
finish-line." ~ Bucks County Courier Times
The Riverside Symphonia is a professional
orchestra serving the Greater Delaware Valley and the
neighboring river
towns of Lambertville, N.J. and New Hope, Pa. The Symphonia
premiered in 1990 and from the beginning has successfully
provided first-class music at prices within the reach
of all. Through the years, the orchestra has received
critical acclaim, performing to consistently sold-out
audiences.
In 1996, Mariusz Smolij was appointed
Music Director and Conductor of the Symphonia. Considered
one of the most talented young conductors of his generation,
Smolij was recently appointed Music Director of the
Acadiana Symphony in Lafayette, Louisiana. He has also
served as Resident Conductor of the Houston Symphony
and Assistant Conductor of the New Jersey Symphony.
Since the 2002-2003 season, Maestro Smolij has been
closely associated with the Wroclaw (Breslau) Philharmonic
in Poland and has presided over the International Festival
Wratislavia Cantans.
Each
year, the Riverside Symphonia embarks on a delightful
program of concerts that feature distinguished guest
performers and conductors known throughout the world.
This season is no exception and promises a truly
notable combination of masterworks.
Music Director Mariusz Smolij received accolades for last year's series and
under his baton, concert-goers, once again, will enjoy unforgettable performances
in the beautiful and acoustically excellent Church of St. John the Evangelist
in Lambertville. Come join the Riverside Symphonia for a season that will uplift
