Daniil
Trifonov Plays Gershwin
June
6–9
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
American music swings
into summer with hits from Gershwin’s pathbreaking opera, Porgy
and Bess. Letting their instruments do
the singing, the New Jersey Symphony soars through
"Summertime," "It Ain’t Necessarily So" and
other glories of Gershwin’s masterpiece. Only one way to top that:
superstar pianist Daniil Trifonov playing Brahms with the New
Jersey Symphony last season was a revelation, so we are thrilled at
his return to wrap our season with a bang in Gershwin’s
dance-filled Concerto in F. The New Jersey Symphony premieres an
all-new commission from Resident Artistic Catalyst Daniel Bernard
Roumain. A master storyteller, DBR will continue to wow
New Jersey audiences with his genre-bending music.
