Lambertville, NJ – It’s remarkable that the small town of Lambertville has a professional symphony orchestra, but it has for the past 33 years! The Riverside Symphonia offers high caliber performances and the ever-popular July 4 “Concert Under the Stars” at Tinicum Park each year. To ensure a strong start to its 34th season, the Riverside Symphonia invites the Delaware River Valley community on both sides of the river to a fun food + drinks + dancing fundraising event at The Woolverton Inn on Thursday, August 31, from 4:30 – 7:30 pm. Enjoy the always-smooth sounds of Michael Arenella and His Dreamland Orchestra and wear your dance shoes if you like!

“We had intended to have a birthday party for our 30th, but Covid scuttled those plans,” says Executive Director Cullen McAuliffe. “While we weathered the pandemic with online performances, grants and the generosity of our patrons, we’re thrilled to be back and hope to build awareness of the Symphonia to expand our audience.”

“Small Town. Big Sound.” is the theme of the Aug. 31 outdoor party. It is designed to be a casual, convivial event with catered hot and cold hors d’oeuvres, open bar and a live auction of select items. Tickets are $100 per person, and sponsorship opportunities are available for area businesses and individuals. RSVPs are due by August 25.

“Our musicians are world-class, and we want to keep the music playing so more people in our community can experience their performances,” says McAuliffe. “We launch with this fundraiser and then look forward to our annual fall concert, followed by our popular holiday concert.” For additional information on tickets or sponsorship, please visit riversidesymphonia.org
