Don’t miss your chance to bid Neeme Järvi farewell as he conducts his final subscription program as music director of the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra! This glorious season finale opens with Beethoven’s “Emperor” Concerto, a work of heroic spirit that marks the highest peak of Beethoven’s lifelong relationship with the piano. Then, Maestro Järvi leads the NJSO in Bruckner’s Seventh—a monumental work composed at the height of the composer’s genius and the most popular and well-loved of all his symphonies.
