The Symphony’s 2024 Lunar New Year Celebration continues our tradition, first developed by Music Director Xian Zhang, of blending music from East and West in a celebration of cultural collaboration. This year, under the baton of conductor Yue Bao, the Symphony will perform selections from Huang Ruo’s Folk Songs for Orchestra and Zhou Tian’s Gift plus tried-and-true favorites like Spring Festival Overture. Rising star Tony Siqi Yun joins at the piano to perform selections from the Yellow River Concerto and Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G. You won’t want to miss this celebration to ring in the Year of the Dragon!

Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons
February 22–25

 

Eric Wyrick

The spotlight shines on New Jersey Symphony musicians! Reena Esmail’s wildly colorful overture RE|Member came to life during the pandemic and celebrates the regathering of musicians, and (spoiler!) has a fun bit of stage wizardry for oboe. The singing oboe of our magnificent principal Robert Ingliss takes pride of place in Strauss’ Oboe Concerto, written in the hopeful weeks after WWII. And Concertmaster Eric Wyrick will spark springtime hope in every heart from the first notes of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons.

Presented in Newark, Red Bank and New Brunswick
