Xian Zhang conductor
Renée Fleming soprano
New Jersey Symphony
A breathtaking start to the 2024–25 season with international superstar Renée Fleming. As fall colors flare, America’s most celebrated soprano adds the exquisite hues of her own voice to this concert, inspired by her 2023 GRAMMY Award-winning album, Voice of Nature: the Anthropocene. Come be immersed in the majesty of nature, as the music will be accompanied by stunning film by the National Geographic Society. This special performance includes an eclectic mix of nature-inspired songs, plus arias by Handel and Puccini, music from Lord of the Rings and Carousel, contemporary hits by Björk, Kevin Puts and Nico Muhly and selections by famed film composer Ennio Morricone.
