Beethoven's "Pastoral" Symphony at New Jersey Performing Arts Center

In this first week of spring, you’ll feel the joy of being outdoors again in Beethoven’s Sixth (perhaps best known as his “Pastoral”) Symphony–even with a thunderstorm brewing on the horizon. Mozart casts bright bolts of sunshine in his Divertimento that spotlights the New Jersey Symphony’s superb strings, and in his Clarinet Concerto featuring Principal Clarinet Juan Esteban Martinez.
