Leonard Bernstein Overture to Candide
Full of glitter and gaiety, Bernstein’s effervescent overture exudes joy and optimism—the best of all possible worlds.
-
Joaquín Rodrigo Concierto de Aranjuez
The pinnacle of the guitar repertoire, Rodrigo’s beloved concerto transports the listener to the heart of historic Spain, capturing, in the composer’s words, “the fragrance of magnolias, the singing of birds, and the gushing of fountains.”
-
Alberto Ginastera Four Dances from Estancia
Argentina’s leading composer, Alberto Ginastera, wrote Estancia soon after he met Aaron Copland. This extraordinary ballet score is full of folk character, driving rhythms, and a final dance that is among the most ecstatic moments in the orchestral repertoire.
-
Maurice Ravel Boléro
From the nearly imperceptible tap of a snare drum to its exhilarating climax, the slow burn crescendo of Boléro grabs hold of audiences and refuses to let go. There’s nothing like hearing it live!
Relaxed Performance
Thursday, June 10 at NJPAC in Newark
The Thursday matinee will be a Relaxed Performance, designed to accommodate the differing needs of our patrons of all abilities, including individuals with autism, sensory sensitivities, or cognitive and physical differences. This concert supports the New Jersey Symphony’s mission to make orchestral music accessible to all by removing barriers often found in traditional concert settings. Audience members are encouraged to enter and exit the concert hall as needed throughout the performance and bring comfort items like sensory tools or stuffed animals that will aid in enhancing your musical experience! Accommodations such as large-print programs, sensory guides, a relaxation room, and more are also available.
Please note: If you are someone who prefers silence when you are enjoying a concert, this performance may not be the best fit for you. There may be movement, vocalizations, and other sounds throughout the hall. The shared expectation for all attendees is to help foster a warm, non-judgmental, and accepting atmosphere for everyone.
