Discover Rachmaninoff is a family concert presented by New Jersey Symphony, conducted by Music Director Xian Zhang, featuring pianist Tony Siqi Yun. The program centers on Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, a work for piano and orchestra that explores the musical puzzle of what a rhapsody is and who Paganini was. Inspired by Leonard Bernstein's approach to engaging young audiences, the concert is presented in a relaxed, interactive format with listening cues and fun facts.
