Concert Information

SCHUMANN Konzertstück for Four Horns (NJSO Premiere)
Festive and virtuosic: 19th-century advances in the French horn made it possible for Schumann to compose the concerto. The NJSO’s horn section steps into the spotlight.
-
SCHUBERT Symphony No. 8, “Unfinished”
Time stops during this two-movement symphony of sublime expression. You’ll marvel at the endless, songful melodies and long to hear the final uncompleted movements!
-
DVOŘÁK Cello Concerto
The king of the cello concertos! The rich tone of superstar Johannes Moser shines as he conquers a piece that matches Dvořák’s “New World” Symphony for drama, melody and passion.

Please Note:
Andrew Norman’s Cello Concerto will not be completed in time for its scheduled premiere performances on this concert, and will be postponed to a future season. Our soloist for these concerts, Johannes Moser, will now perform Dvořák’s Cello Concerto—a piece that matches the “New World” Symphony for drama, melody and passion. To complement this work, Music Director Xian Zhang has chosen Schubert’s popular and Romantic “Unfinished” Symphony in place of Brahms’ Symphony No. 4.
