Concert Information
Xian Zhang conductor
Gregory LaRosa timpani
New Jersey Symphony
-
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Symphony No. 29
Written when he was just 18 (and had already composed 28 symphonies!), this work from a boy genius has a brilliant maturity and is full of elan, wit, and the quintessential Mozartian spirit that continues to inspire.
-
Joseph Pereira Virtù - Concerto for Timpani and String Orchestra (East Coast Premiere, New Jersey Symphony Co-Commission)
Drumroll please! Principal Timpanist Gregory LaRosa joins his colleagues as soloist for the first time in this brand-new work, written just for him.
-
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Symphony No. 41, “Jupiter”
Mozart’s final symphony reaches levels of cosmic brilliance, especially in the thrilling finale about which the 19th-century commentator Aleksandr Ulïbïshev wrote, “One must hear this music to believe it possible.”
Relaxed Performance
Thursday, April 1 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.
Instrument Discovery Zone
Thursday, April 1, at 12:30 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!
