In sixteenth-century Antwerp, a small shop described as being found “At the Sign of the Crumhorn” drew musicians, dancers, and the curious inside. There, the publisher Tielman Susato sent new music out into the world – tunes that became massively popular and culturally influential. This program opens that door again, with the vivid sound of shawms, sackbuts, dulcians, and crumhorns filling the air. Follow the sign and find what’s been waiting to be heard.

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.
