Guest Attraction: New Jersey Symphony: Dvořák’s “New World” Symphony
A musical tour around the world—Xian Zhang is your travel agent as we journey from the Nordic chill of Finland with Sibelius’ nationalistic overture, to the warmth and fire of Latin America with Gabriela Montero’s thrilling concerto, coming home with Dvořák’s love letter to Ameri…
The New Jersey Symphony brings a genuine around-the-world program to Mayo PAC on April 29 at 7:00 p.m. Music Director Xian Zhang leads the evening through three stops: Sibelius’s Karelia Overture (that’s Finland), Gabriela Montero performing her own “Latin” Piano Concerto (Venezuela by way of everywhere), and Dvořák’s Ninth, the “New World” Symphony, which closes things out like a warm landing at Newark after a long flight. It’s a GRAMMY and Emmy Award-winning orchestra, so the bar is set somewhere in the rafters. Tickets are available through Mayo PAC or at njsymphony.org, and MPAC’s all-in pricing means no surprise fees at checkout.
