History

The renowned Livingston Symphony Orchestra is currently enjoying its 64th season, providing symphonic, concerto, operatic, and popular works to its appreciative and enthusiastic audience. Originating in June, 1956 as a small ensemble providing the orchestral music for a town production of the Mikado, the group began to take hold in the local community, as Livingston saw the need to provide a classical music scene to its residents. Under the expert of Internationally-acclaimed Principal Conductor and Music Director Istvan Jaray, the orchestra grew over the years to become one of the finest regional symphonies in the metropolitan area.
