The New Jersey Symphony delivers in an epic performance of iconic film scores
June 4, 2024
The New Jersey Symphony delivered four epic performances of iconic film compositions from cinema legend John Williams and more in a program that was hosted by Brett Boles and featured guest appearances by pianist Min Kwon and Colton Conducting Fellow Jessica Rivero Altarriba. James C. Taylor of NJ Advance Media reviewed the Thursday performance at NJPAC.
... Zhang and the New Jersey Symphony team delivered a rousing, thoughtful showcase highlighting why film music moves listeners ... The orchestra, as they showed in their “Matilda” performance earlier this season (and many other fully scored performances of films) appreciates the mix of understatement and dramatic flair that soundtracks require.
