NJSO Presents US Premiere Of Qigang Chen's LA JOIE DE LA SOUFFRANCE With Ning Feng

By:

The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra and Music Director Xian Zhang present the US premiere of Qigang Chen's La joie de la souffrance with violinist Ning Feng, November 7-9. In addition to the NJSO co-commission from Chen, Feng performs Saint-Saëns' Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso. The program also features a pair of orchestral showpieces: Falla's Suite No. 2 from The Three-Cornered Hat and Rimsky-Korsakov's Capriccio espagnol.

Performances take place on November 7 at 1:30 pm and November 9 at 8 pm at NJPAC in Newark and on November 10 at 3 pm at Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown.

NJ Advance Media praised Feng's "thrilling" first engagement with the NJSO in 2018: "[Feng's] Strad seemed to be floating as his fingers and hands were playing so fast there would be no way of holding the weight in his hands-this brief passage elicited gasps from more than a few people lucky enough to be inside NJPAC Saturday night to witness this memorable debut."

Concert tickets start at $20 and are available for purchase at njsymphony.org or 1.800.ALLEGRO (255.3476). Student tickets are $10, available at njsymphony.org/students one month in advance.

NJSO Accent events include a Prelude Performance by the New Jersey Intergenerational Orchestra on November 7 at 12:30 pm and pre-concert Classical Conversations on November 9 at 7 pm and November 10 at 2 pm. The NJSO will collect new, unwrapped toys for the Orchestra's annual Toys for Tots drive. Learn more at njsymphony.org/accents.
