O Lovely Peace:
A Holiday concert of music through the ages
"Newburgh is blessed with a symphony orchestra, a chamber music ensemble, and ongoing jazz guitar series and an opera company. Now, if we are lucky, another “genre” of music might be joining the above groups on a permanent basis. 2010 will mark the year Newburgh gained an early music vocal and instrumental ensemble, MUSE, the heart-child of Newburghian Jonathan Dobin. ... From the audience’s reception of the highly successful concert, it is hopeful that this new ensemble will become an area mainstay.
