Allison Loggins-Hull Can You See?
Originally written for the New Jersey Symphony Chamber Players and now re-written for full orchestra, Can You See? is cool and glassy on its surface, but the waters underneath are rolling in this tour-de-force concert opener by the Symphony’s new Resident Artistic Partner.

Frédéric Chopin Piano Concerto No. 1
One of the most astonishing creations of any 19-year-old, Chopin poured his beyond-his-years splendor into his First Concerto, and it has stayed an audience favorite around the world for 200 years.

Johannes Brahms Symphony No. 1
A König specialty, Brahms’ First was decades in the making—but oh, it became a triumph of drama and soaring lyricism well worth the wait.
