NJSO Presents New Works By Composers Of The NJSO Edward T. Cone Composition Institute

The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra presents dynamic new works from the composers of the 2018 NJSO Edward T. Cone Composition Institute-Jonathan Cziner, Natalie Dietterich, Aaron Hendrix and Brian Shank-on Saturday, July 14, at 8 pm at Richardson Auditorium in Princeton.

From July 9-14 at Princeton University, the four emerging composers will have their works rehearsed and performed by the NJSO, participate in masterclasses with Institute Director Steven Mackey, receive feedback from conductor David Robertson and NJSO musicians and have career-enriching sessions with music-industry leaders.

The NJSO and Robertson perform Cziner's Resonant Bells, Dietterich's Aeolian Dusts, Hendrix's Night Train and Shank's Into the Rose Garden. The concert program, "Scores: New Orchestral Works," also includes "Echoes" from Mackey's Mnemosyne's Pool.

Mackey says: "The Cone Institute takes a holistic approach to the elements that go into a successful career as a composer. Beyond the opportunity to polish their orchestral works with professional musicians, the composers will meet with industry leaders for insight into the practical elements of publishing and promoting their music."

All tickets for the Institute concert-"Scores: New Orchestral Works"-are $15 and are available at njsymphony.org/scores. A free reception for all concertgoers follows the concert, featuring a special cone-inspired flavor of ice cream from Princeton's The Bent Spoon.

A collaboration between the NJSO and Princeton University Department of Music, the Institute is funded in part by the Edward T. Cone Foundation and Princeton University.
