Senior Happening: NJS Presents "Musical Changemakers"

The Livingston Public Library invites the public to the premiere of the Fall 2026 Senior Happening series on Friday, September 18th when the NJ Symphony (NJS) will present “Musical Changemakers.” This string quartet features Black composers from the 18th century through today, including powerful works by Jessie Montgomery, Chevalier de Saint-Georges and Akua Dixon.

The Senior Happening is a monthly series that allows attendees (“Seniors” or otherwise) to socialize during the first part of the program (12 until 12:45 pm) by bringing a bag lunch, while enjoying desserts and coffee served by the Friends of the Library volunteers. The program and entertainment then begins at 1 pm.

Registration is required and may be done in person at the library; by telephone at (973) 992-4600; or online at www.livingstonlibrary.org. Registration begins on August 31st for Livingston and other Essex County residents.

Senior Happening is made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts, and administered by the Essex County Division of Cultural and Historic Affairs.
