RACHMANINOFF & TCHAIKOVSKY

Tchaikovsky’s beloved Sixth, “Pathétique,” is a heart-wrenching meditation on the transforming power of love and the inexorable workings of fate. Beloved for its virtuosic piano writing and especially for the exquisite 18th variation, Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody surges with an energy that’s stunning. Closing the New Jersey Roots Project is a commission near and dear to the NJSO family, a new work by Orchestra violinist Darryl Kubian. Like other Winter Festival composers, Kubian found his muse in Shakespeare.
