Bordentown Arts 2024 Concert Series
In 2022, and again in 2023, Justin Lee, a Bordentown Twp. resident, professional musician and educator, organized the highly successful “Bach in the Park” concert series. This series of free concerts consisted of four monthly performances, May through August, at Hilltop Park; although in 2023 two of the performances were moved to Old City Hall due to inclement weather forecasts.
For 2024 it is our desire to expand the series to six performances and broaden the series’ program to include other genres and styles of music. The concerts will continue to be free, however in an effort to make the series sustainable in the longer term, private sponsorship will be sought so as to compensate the musicians, which heretofore have been volunteering their time and talent.
Justin Lee’s role will remain essentially unchanged for 2024 but will more singularly have him acting as “musical director”, with Bordentown Arts focusing on budget, fundraising and promotion.
