NJSO CHAMPS gave a winter concert at Bethany Baptist Church in Newark.
Q on Stage praises the NJSO's live performance of the Home Alone score.
The NJSO will perform holiday classics Messiah and Nutcracker in the coming weeks.
“Doesn’t it seem like yesterday when you begged your parents to drive you to the Cineplex in the minivan to see [Home Alone]?”
“[T]he nearly full house [saw how an ensemble can] create music rooted in solid communication and musical trust.”
The NJSO performs the full Home Alone soundtrack live at special film screenings this weekend in Newark and New Brunswick.
Next NJSO Music Director Xian Zhang becomes BBC NOW Principal Guest Conductor next season.
