New Jersey Symphony to Present Daniil Trifonov Playing Gershwin's Piano Concerto In F

Roumain, who also goes by DBR, is the Symphony’s Resident Artistic Catalyst and a composer, performer, educator and activist whose works include movie scores (Ailey, 2021) and i am a person who _____ Black people, another New Jersey Symphony commission.
