As the holiday season blankets New Jersey with its festive spirit, there’s no better way to embrace the magic of this special time of year than with an unforgettable afternoon at the New Jersey Chamber Singers (NJCS) concert. This year, the ensemble presents a heartwarming and festive performance titled “The Waiting Sky”, an event that promises to fill the air with beloved holiday favorites, beautiful choral music, and the uplifting spirit of caroling.
