Kean University Orchestra: Free For the Community

description

The Kean University Orchestra offers a unique and inclusive opportunity for community members to make music together. Our musicians range in age from high school students to individuals in their 80s, creating a rich and diverse ensemble. The orchestra is led by Music Director and Conductor Warren Cohen, whose extensive experience with multi-skill-level groups ensures that everyone can participate meaningfully. He specializes in adapting music to accommodate varying abilities, encouraging musicians to play at their current level while striving toward their goals.

Orchestra Manager Michelle Tolentino, who also plays oboe in the group, brings her expertise as an occupational therapist, focusing on adaptations, group dynamics, and accommodations to enhance the experience for all members.

Thanks to Kean University’s generosity, participation is completely free, making this orchestra an accessible and rewarding opportunity for anyone who loves playing music in a collaborative setting.

Instruments: violin, viola, cello, double bass
