You may be lifted out of your seat as the final pages of Stravinsky’s landmark ballet, The Firebird, light up the hall in phosphorescent musical color. The only way to top that is by adding the talents of our special guests, the award-winning Jersey City company, Nimbus Dance, who join us to premiere two newly choreographed works.

Johann Sebastian Bach Prelude from Cello Suite No. 2
Caroline Shaw Valencia
Qasim Naqvi God Docks at Death Harbor (Piano Quintet Version)
