Mar 4, 2024

The New Jersey Symphony recently announced its 2024–25 season, which puts a focus on the elements of nature, and highlights the notable composers who’s commissions will be performed on the season, along with many notable guest artists. NJArts.net’s Courtney Smith wrote about the announcement, detailing some of Music Director Xian Zhang’s focus on the theme of the season.

While the current 2023-24 season continues to explore the musical heritage of American orchestral works, the next season looks toward broader and more mystical horizons. Themes will take cues from the four classical elements of nature — earth, air, fire and water — and the wonders of the natural world ... Zhang mentioned that she had wanted to create a nature-themed season since the pandemic began in 2020. “When that happened,” she said, “I was trying to figure out a way to come back to nature because we find more comfort in that.”
