New Jersey Symphony

A new season begins with two of Classical music’s most epic works. Music Director Xian Zhang introduced George Li to New Jersey audiences 10 years ago and he’s since become a true local favorite, returning now for Beethoven’s heroic “Emperor” Piano Concerto. Schubert’s final symphony, also known as “The Great,” was lost in a drawer and never performed during his lifetime—its songful grandeur is one of the wonders of the Romantic era.

Franz Schubert Symphony No. 9 in C Major, “The Great”

Schumann's Rhenish Symphony evokes the Rhine River and the surrounding landscape. Drawing inspiration from Beethoven's Third and Sixth Symphonies, as well as Mendelssohn, the work reflects Schumann's lyrical style. The program opens with "Campos Flotantes" by composer Angélica Negrón, whose music was featured in the reopening of David Geffen Hall with the New York Philharmonic.

Violin faculty member Christina Bouey joins the Rutgers Symphony Orchestra in Korngold's Violin Concerto, marking her first appearance with the orchestra. Maestro Kynan Johns conducts. Watch the free livestream: https://go.rutgers.edu/livestream

La Fiocco is thrilled to welcome back BALAM Dance Theatre for a performance of theatrical dances of France, England, and Germany. BALAM artistic director, Carlos Fittante, has created lavish Baroque dances to Jean-Baptiste Lully’s March of the Turks (1670), Handel’s Chaconne from Terpsicore (1734), and dances by Johann Bernhard Bach (c. 1730). Also featured is a reconstruction of a 1711 Baroque dance notation of the exquisite Passacaille d’Armide by Anthony L’Abbé to music by Lully (1686). And of course, the audience is invited to join us in a final dance.

In keeping with the spirit, La Fiocco musicians will also perform a set of English Masque dances published in 1621, selections from Henry Purcell’s The Married Beau (1694) and The Fairy Queen (1692), the Bizzaria: La Spagniola by William Corbett (1728), and a trio sonata for voice flutes and continuo by Louis Antoine Dornel (1709).
