The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra and Music Director Xian Zhang announce the Orchestra's classical, pops and family programs for the 2017-18 season, Zhang's second as the Orchestra's critically acclaimed artistic leader. The NJSO brings a diverse range of compelling programs to six venues across the Garden State, with highlights including classical masterworks, a Winter Festival celebrating foreign artists and composers who found creative inspiration on America's welcoming shores, film-with-orchestra presentations of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial and music- and comedy-filled performances with Tony Award-winning star Jason Alexander.

Fulfilling its mission as a statewide orchestra, the NJSO performs subscription concerts in Newark, New Brunswick, Princeton, Morristown, Red Bank and Englewood, with 14 weeks of subscription classical programs, five pops weekends and two family programs, as well as special concerts.

Zhang's programming for her second season as NJSO Music Director seeks to deepen her connection with the Orchestra-a relationship press have praised since the conductor's first appearance on New Jersey stages. The artistic leader expands upon her vision for the Orchestra by incorporating a diverse range of voices, from Bach's complete Brandenburg Concertos to works by contemporary Chinese and Finnish composers. She continues to shape the NJSO's sonic identity through core repertoire, with multiple works by Beethoven and Russian masters.

Underscoring her belief in bringing new works to NJSO audiences, Zhang conducts not only a world premiere by American composer Richard Danielpour, but also standard works of the canon from Respighi and Prokofiev that the Orchestra has not previously performed.

2018 WINTER FESTIVAL: AMERICA, INSPIRING

The "America, Inspiring" Winter Festival-the season's incarnation of the Orchestra's signature artistic event-celebrates foreign artists and composers whose experiences connect them to the nation's legacy as a source of inspiration and beacon of ideals for people from all over the world.

Zhang's own experiences in the United States, first as a conducting student and now as a dual Chinese-American citizen, inspired the Festival. She says: "We will be celebrating composers who came to America and found their musical voices flourishing, just like I did when I came to study music in the United States. I look forward to conducting a piece from the very first program I performed with the NJSO in January 2010-Respighi's Pines of Rome."

Three weeks of January programs highlight the myriad ways America has inspired not only those who call it home but also those who have visited its welcoming shores. The influence of American jazz runs through Ravel's Piano Concerto in G Major and Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances; Czech composer Martin? pays homage his adopted home in Thunderbolt P-47, heard in its NJSO premiere. The Festival closes with Dvo?ák's "New World" Symphony-an embodiment of America's embrace of creativity.

Leveraging the power of art to transcend differences, a series of NJSO Accents and special Winter Festival events explore, through multiple art forms, the immigrant experience and how foreign artists have illustrated American inspiration in their work.

The Festival's first program features a pair of NJSO premieres: Zhang conducts Respighi's Fountains of Rome and Chinese-American composer Chen Yi's Ge Xu.

WORLD PREMIERE, WORKS NEW TO THE NJSO, COMPELLING VOICES

Fountains of Rome and Ge Xu are just two of the works the NJSO performs for the first time. In March, the Orchestra presents the world premiere of Richard Danielpour's Carnival of the Ancients for Piano and Orchestra, featuring pianist Sara Daneshpour. The performances mark the sixth Danielpour work the NJSO has premiered since 1993. The season features other works that will be new to NJSO audiences: Kernis' Musica celestis, Martin?'s Thunderbolt P-47, Fagerlund's Isola and Prokofiev's Sixth Symphony.

Exploring diverse musical voices, Zhang has crafted programs that demonstrate a strong affinity between artists and music. Lahti Symphony Orchestra Principal Conductor and Sibelius Festival Artistic Director Dima Slobodeniouk has recorded Finnish composer Fagerlund's Isola; the conductor leads the work's NJSO premiere, along with Sibelius' Fifth Symphony. British conductor and Baroque specialist Nicholas McGegan leads Suite No. 2 in D Major from Handel's Water Music.

NJSO Concertmaster Eric Wyrick explores performance practices from Baroque to contemporary as he leads his NJSO colleagues in Bach's complete Brandenburg Concertos. In a program of unusual textures, the Montclair State University Singers perform two intimate a cappella works paired with Mozart's epic Requiem.

INSPIRED PRESENTATIONS OF CORE REPERTOIRE

Zhang and the NJSO open the season with a pair of masterpieces. Celebrated pianist and MacArthur "Genius" Fellow Jeremy Denk joins the Orchestra for Beethoven's "Emperor" Piano Concerto. Zhang pairs Beethoven's iconic concerto and Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus with Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique, recognizing the latter composer's admiration for the former.

In a blockbuster season finale, Zhang conducts Mahler's monumental First Symphony (the Music Director's first NJSO performances of the composer's work) and welcomes lauded violinist Gil Shaham back to New Jersey stages for Brahms' Violin Concerto. In celebration of the role of Bernstein in bringing Mahler's music to mass audiences-and of the 100th anniversary of the American composer's birth-Zhang opens the program with the Overture to Candide.

Zhang conducts 10 programs in the 2017-18 season, including the Orchestra's annual performances of Handel's Messiah. The conductor has electrified in her first season as NJSO Music Director, bringing "not just skill but also heart" (The Star-Ledger) to her performances. The New York Times praises Zhang for both her skills at the podium and her chemistry with the Orchestra: "[Zhang] showed complete command of these scores and a deep feeling for them ... [The performance] spoke to meticulous preparation by Ms. Zhang, but also to a certain freedom and risk-taking on the part of the players that suggested an enthusiastic and confident response to her direction."

Other highlights include Beethoven's Fifth and Sixth ("Pastoral") Symphonies and First Piano Concertos; Mozart's Requiem; Brahms' First Symphony; Bach's complete Brandenburg Concertos; Prokofiev's Third Piano Concerto; Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and Vocalise and Mendelssohn's "Reformation" Symphony.

GUEST ARTISTS

The NJSO welcomes an international roster of guest artists in the 2017-18 season, including violinists Gil Shaham, Chloë Hanslip and Ning Feng and pianists Jeremy Denk, Stephen Hough, Robert Levin, Conrad Tao, George Li, Sara Daneshpour and Montclair native Terrence Wilson. Guest conductors include Nicholas McGegan, Dima Slobodeniouk, Andrew Constantine and Rune Bergmann.

The Orchestra highlights its own musicians in a program of Bach's complete Brandenburg Concertos, led by Concertmaster Eric Wyrick, in May. In March, Wyrick, Principal Cello Jonathan Spitz, Principal Oboe Robert Ingliss and Principal Bassoon Robert Wagner perform Haydn's Sinfonia concertante.

GALA OPENING NIGHT CELEBRATION

Special Opening Night Celebration Gala festivities surround Zhang and the NJSO's October 7 performance of works by Beethoven and Berlioz, including Beethoven's "Emperor" Concerto with acclaimed pianist Jeremy Denk. Gala packages include a pre-concert cocktail party and post-concert dinner with Zhang, NJSO musicians and special guests at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark.

POPS

The NJSO's five-concert pops series in Newark and New Brunswick includes concerts of song and comedy with Tony Award-winning star Jason Alexander; screenings of E.T. the Extraterrestrial with live orchestral accompaniment; a program of Latin jazz with the Mambo Kings; music of iconic sci-fi films hosted by "Star Trek: The Next Generation" star Marina Sirtis; and performances of radio hits by Abba, Simon & Garfunkel, Chicago and more. The NJSO also performs the Mambo Kings and E.T. The Extraterrestrial programs in Red Bank.

Promising emerging composers will have their work rehearsed by the NJSO and guest conductor JoAnn Falletta, participate in masterclasses with Institute Director Steven Mackey and receive feedback from NJSO musicians.
