Concert Information

  • Claude Debussy Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun

    A languid flute solo opens a portal into another world, with Debussy’s shimmering orchestral colors as vivid as any Monet painting.

  • George Duke Dark Wood: Bass Concerto for Christian McBride

    Hear the Garden State’s own jazz master in a work tailor-made for his unique groove and virtuosity as he solos with the New Jersey Symphony for the first time.

  • Christian McBride Fried Bacon

    Christian McBride’s first work for symphony orchestra, Fried Bacon was originally written for and premiered by Chris Komer, New Jersey Symphony Principal Horn extraordinaire, in 2022. The world premiere brought the house down and we can’t wait to play it again.

  • Sergei Rachmaninoff Symphonic Dances

    An elegiac melody, a Dies Irae quote, a saxophone solo, and the tolling of church bells are among the many extraordinary effects in Rachmaninoff’s final work, written in exile from a Russia to which he’d never return, and which would never be the same.

Instrument Discovery Zone

Sunday, November 22, at 1 pm at NJPAC in Newark
New Jersey Symphony musicians will showcase an Instrument Discovery Zone in NJPAC’s lobby for patrons to explore making music with various instruments. Come try out an instrument for yourself before the performance!
