NJIO and HHS Collaborate on 3 Spectacular Performances of Les Misérables

The New
Jersey Intergenerational Orchestra (NJIO) in collaboration with the
Hillsborough High School (HHS) Theatre will present 3 performances of the
world’s most loved musical, Les Misérables: In Concert, on June 13, 14 and 15
at Hillsborough High School. Winner of over 100 international awards and seen
by more than 65 million people world-wide, Les Misérables is an epic, grand and
uplifting musical that packs an emotional wallop. It is a saga of broken
dreams, passion and redemption against the backdrop of a nation in the grips of
revolution.

The NJIO adds
its strong orchestral expertise to the exceptional vocal talent found at HHS
Theatre Department to deliver a spectacular performance on the stage. This
production includes 101 performers featuring Hillsborough faculty, alumni and
current students alongside a 65 piece intergenerational orchestra.

At the center of this collaboration are Warren Cohen,
artistic director of the NJIO and B.J. Solomon, director of the HHS Theatre.  Mr. Solomon leads an ambitious theater program
at HHS with several productions each year. Previous musical successes include Fiddler
on the Roof, Titanic and Phantom of the Opera.  B.J’s productions and students have received
numerous awards and accolades, including an invitation to the renowned
Edinburgh Fringe Festival and awards and nominations from the Paper Mill
Playhouse including this year’s Rising Star Award. 

With this performance Maestro Warren Cohen is returning to
his roots. He began his career conducting musicals and operas in Hawaii and
Arizona before becoming an orchestra conductor and music director. During his
first year with the NJIO as Artistic Director and Conductor, Mr. Cohen has led
the orchestra in several special performances included the Kennedy Center in
Washington, D.C, and their 20th anniversary concert at UCPAC. Mr.
Cohen also serves as the Music Director of MusicaNova in Arizona.
