New Jersey Symphony to Present Daniil Trifonov Playing Gershwin's Piano Concerto In F
Four performances will take place in June.
The New Jersey Symphony will present the 2023–24 season finale classical concerts featuring pianist Daniil Trifonov playing Gershwin’s Piano Concerto in F, with Music Director Xian Zhang conducting four performances: Thursday, June, 6, 2024, at 7:30 pm, at State Theatre New Jersey in New Brunswick; Friday, June 7, 2024, at 8 pm, at Richardson Auditorium in Princeton; Saturday, June 8, 2024, at 8 pm, at Count Basie Center for the Arts in Red Bank; and Sunday, June 9, 2024, at 3 pm, at New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark.
The GRAMMY Award-winning Trifonov is a world-renowned pianist, and will play Gershwin’s Piano Concerto in F, the composer's follow-up to his famous Rhapsody in Blue.

The Symphony will also present the world premiere of Autumn Days and Nights by Daniel Bernard Roumain, a New Jersey Symphony commission. 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.
