New Brunswick Students Perform At Lincoln Center

The New Brunswick school district’s jazz band recently performed with a world-renowned violinist at Lincoln Center in New York City.

City schools have an ongoing partnership with VH1 Save The Music Foundation.

Through that partnership, the jazz band recently performed with VH1 Save The Music Foundation Ambassador Regina Carter. The performance “ was a nationwide broadcast held as part of American Graduate Day, a public broadcasting initiative to encourage students to stay in school,” a district news release said.

“We’re very proud of our arts in New Brunswick, as a city,” Lee Neamand, supervisor of Fine, Visual and Performing Arts for New Brunswick Public Schools said in a prepared statement. “We have a lot of local theaters and other arts organizations. It’s really at the forefront, so everyone’s talking about the arts, and we’re part of that whole scene now. It’s exciting to take our students out and let them experience it firsthand.”
