Senior Happening: NJS Presents "Sounds of the Rising Sun"

The Livingston Public Library invites the public to the premiere of the Fall 2025 Senior Happening series on Friday, September 19th when the NJ Symphony (NJS) will present “Sounds of the Rising Sun.” This program explores the rich tapestry of East Asian music, featuring contemporary and traditional works that celebrate nature, folk songs and cultural traditions.

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 September 2nd 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.
