Jazz and classical meet in this genre-defying program full of color, rhythm, and fun. Montclair’s own jazz legend and nine-time GRAMMY Award-winner, Christian McBride debuts with your New Jersey Symphony in a concerto tailor-made for him. Eric Jacobsen, hailed by The New York Times as “an interpretive dynamo,” returns with the perfumed hues of Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun and Rachmaninoff’s final orchestral work, written in New York City and full of longing for his Russian home.
