NEW JERSEY SYMPHONY

2024-2025 Season Highlights

 

This season, the New Jersey Symphony and Music Director Xian Zhang introduce compelling new works alongside classical masterworks, present world-class guest artists, and initiate important artistic conversations through partnerships with composers and other local institutions.

 

The season-opening gala features legendary soprano Renée Fleming on a program inspired by her 2023 Grammy-winning album, Voice of Nature: the Anthropocene, with accompanying film images from National Geographic. The Symphony’s commitment to living composers continues this season with the world premiere of a new work by double bassist Xavier Foley, commissioned by the Symphony; Foley himself is soloist on that work as well as his earlier work Soul Bass. Also this season is Can You See? by the New Jersey Symphony’s new Resident Artistic Partner Allison Loggins-Hull, and works by Gabriela Ortiz, Caroline Shaw, Donghoon Shin, Qasim Naqvi, Billy Childs, Daniel Freiberg, and Arturo Márquez. Throughout the season, the Symphony partners with other New Jersey-based artists and institutions including Grammy-winning clarinetist Paquito D’Rivera and Nimbus Dance.

 

Reflecting on the upcoming season, Zhang says, “This season’s repertoire will bring audiences to faraway lands and familiar places, all from the comfort and splendor of the concert hall. I invite our patrons to take a musical journey with us, and together we’ll revel in the artistic ambition of New Jersey Symphony.”
