Through more than 50 years, The Oratorio Society of New Jersey (OSNJ) has contributed to the vitality of culture in northern New Jersey. We perform the magnificent music of oratorios, cantatas, and related genres produced between 1650 and the present. People join OSNJ because they like to sing beautiful music.
The communities we serve are proud of our presence, and we are in turn proud of the ways in which the sounds of Brahms, Beethoven, Britten, Poulenc and many others have made our area a musically-enriched place to live. Please see our Concerts page for a listing of past and upcoming programs, and brief audio samplers of OSNJ in performance.
