Woodwind and brass instruments return to the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra stage in Schumann's poignant and powerful Fourth Symphony, paired with the East Coast premiere of new work from multi-talented composer and performer Nokuthula Ngwenyama. Simone Dinnerstein, whose Bach performances are full of life, brings vitality and grace to the composer's F-minor Keyboard Concerto. Directed in a uniquely intimate style by maverick, Newark-raised filmmaker Yuri Alves, who complements the live performances with mesmerizing visuals beyond the stage. The "Emerge: Concert Film Trilogy" expands the universe of orchestral music through a mix of live stage performance, stunning visuals, mesmerizing dance sequences, and format-bending elements on and off stage. The live concert was captured at the height of the pandemic taking on a more significant meaning as a time capsule of our times. A must-see for fans of classical music.
