Saturday August 24 4PM

Classical music will fill the air at the August 24 Summer Concerts Series performance.

The Loni Bach Quartet is made up of the four section leaders of the New Sussex Symphony. We all go back much farther though! 

Principal cellist Loni Pilshaw Bach recently retired from teaching orchestra 29 years in the Sparta Schools. Principal violist, Laura Schock Lopez was her student from Elementary School through High School.  They later became colleagues in the music department at Sparta High School where Loni was the Orchestra teacher and Laura is the Choir teacher. They co-taught the high school orchestras for many years where they also collaborated the choirs and orchestra in many wonderful performances.

As a student, Emily Gaab Moorhead was the first chair violinist at Sparta High School. She later went on to become a strings teacher in Parsippany where she started a hugely successful strings program. She then joined the New Sussex Symphony as principal second violinist. 

While Emily was a senior in High School, Chryselle Angderson Yang became a student teacher in Sparta and went on to become the Elementary Strings teacher at Helen Morgan School in Sparta. She also leads the New Sussex Symphony as principal violinist under the direction of conductor Jordan Brown.

All of these wonderful connections through music have brought these four musicians together in so many ways. We not only perform together with the New Sussex Symphony but in many other venues.  We are thrilled to be performing this fun program for you today!
