The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra brings gusto in their return to the concert hall

In their first performance since the pandemic, the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra returned to the concert hall with full force, and garnered an amazing review from The New York Times in doing so.

 Since becoming the music director of the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra in 2016, the dynamic conductor Xian Zhang has worked steadily to reflect diversity and inclusion through the institution’s programming, outreach initiatives and guest artists ... These priorities were in evidence on Friday when, 557 days after its last full orchestra concert (because of the pandemic), the New Jersey Symphony opened its new season at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center on a balmy night in Newark.
