A full realization of Music Director Xian Zhang’s artistic vision, the NJSO’s 2018–19 season features a diverse array of musical voices, from classical masters (Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, Debussy’s La mer and Shostakovich’s First Symphony) to composers performing their own concertos (Steven Mackey’s Four Iconoclastic Episodes for violin and electric guitar, Amjad Ali Khan’s Samaagam for Sarod, Concertante Group and String Orchestra) to female composers (Whitley’s Speak Out, Maria Schneider’s Winter Morning Walks with soprano Dawn Upshaw and Florence Price’s Piano Concerto with acclaimed jazz pianist Aaron Diehl). Celebrated guest artists include pianists Emanuel Ax, Daniil Trifonov and Seong-Jin Cho and violinist Augustin Hadelich.
