LineUp

The New Jersey Symphony, founded in 1922 by Philip James, is the state orchestra of New Jersey. Renowned for its classical music performances, it has earned Emmy and Grammy Awards. The Symphony is celebrated for its collaborations and for appointing Henry Lewis as the first African-American music director of a major US orchestra.
The Nutcracker is a celebrated two-act classical ballet composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, which premiered in December 1892. Based on Alexandre Dumas’s adaptation of E.T.A. Hoffmann’s fantasy story, the plot follows a young girl named Clara who receives a magical nutcracker doll on Christmas Eve. After the doll comes to life and defeats the evil Mouse King, it transforms into a prince and takes Clara on an enchanting journey to the Land of Sweets.
