Start the season in style! NJSO favorite Sarah Chang brings her “characteristic athleticism and firepower” (The Star-Ledger) to a sparkling pair of showpieces.

• BERNSTEIN On the Town: Three Dance Episodes
  A brash yet irresistible love note to the composer’s adopted hometown of New York.

• PIAZZOLLA The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires
  Irreverently witty; a Latin American reply to the Vivaldi favorite.

• RAVEL Tzigane
  Rhapsodic and virtuosic; Ravel’s dazzling take on Gypsy fiddling.

• COPLAND Rodeo: Four Dance Episodes
  High-spirited fun! This score for a buckaroo ballet contains the most famous hoedown ever written.
