Plus, tickets for our return to the annual Giralda Music & Arts Festival in Parsippany are on sale now.
The fun doesn’t stop there! In July, the Symphony will present the future of classical music with the 10th Edward T. Cone Composition Institute Concert at Richardson Auditorium in Princeton, along with the North American premiere of the Indian film Baahubali: The Beginning in Newark and New Brunswick. We then have two free chamber concerts in Jersey City, featuring an ecentric performance of the Music of India and a performance honoring outgoing Resident Artistic Catalyst Daniel Bernard Roumain and introducing our new Resident Artistic Partner Allison Loggins-Hull. We wrap up the summer in August with a free 2024–25 season preview concert at NJPAC and special performances of the Academy Award®-winning film The Godfather in Newark and Red Bank.
