Concert Coda

Press Review and Previews

“The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra played these four works by three promising 20-somethings, each on the verge of an astonishing career, in an excellent concert on Friday at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center here. But under the baton of the galvanic Finnish conductor Susanna Malkki it was hardly an evening of youthful experimentation.”
Review: The New York Times—April 7, 2013

“The concert closed, as it had begun, on a high note … Kudos to the New Jersey Symphony and Susanna Mälkki for an afternoon of variety delivered with great finesse.”

Gemma New, Assistant Conductor

“It was inspiring to talk with [guest conductor Susanna Mälkki] and see her work in rehearsal and concert. She has a very calm, but also strong and intense, energy she brought to the orchestra; they really fed off that and created something very meaningful in performance.”
