Welcome the Year of the Snake with the New Jersey Symphony in a tradition that invites all audience members to a celebration of community and cultural exchange.
The event kicks off with a Cultural Exchange Festival before the concert that all audience members can attend. This year’s event will feature artisans and performers from Prince Kung’s Palace Museum in Beijing. VIP ticketholders will receive early access to the festival before it opens to the public.
VIPs will sip cocktails and savor a tasty dinner buffet at the VIP reception, which overlooks the lobby festival and performances.
The orchestral Celebration Concert will then feature a program that blends Eastern and Western musical traditions. Xian Zhang will conduct the New Jersey Symphony, who will be joined by pianist Min Kwon, tenor Michael Fabiano, the Peking University Alumni and Starry Arts Children’s Choruses and the Edison Chinese School Lion Dance Team.
Net proceeds will support the artistic and educational programs of the Symphony. Your support sparks exciting possibilities and opens new pathways to success and access to the arts for the youth and communities the New Jersey Symphony serves. Thank you!
