Noam Aviel is the Music Director for Symphony in C and is conducting the performance.

"It's geared for anyone who opens their heart for music," says Aviel. "We speak to everyone."

The orchestra, based in Camden, is comprised of young professionals from the Mid-Atlantic Region. She says the musicians come from Juilliard, Curtis, and the Peabody Institute.

"To hear 70 musicians on stage, you are getting an experience like no other," she says. "So much energy and excitement performing these works."

Originally founded in 1952 as the Haddonfield Symphony, the group transitioned in the 1990s to become a steppingstone for professionals.

"While they're studying, they get a chance to perform with our orchestra," she says. "They get to experience major works for the first time and make music together in a very high level."

She says it's a good opportunity "until they win their big positions with the orchestras."

For this concert, three works will be presented.

"We start our concert actually with a side-by-side with our youth orchestra," she says.
