Reviewed by Tony Cooper, 28 August 2023Finnish-born conductor, Pietari Inkinen, proudly walked the Grüner Hügel this year to conduct the complete Ring following his 2021 festival début with Die Walküre.

New Jersey Symphony and New Jersey Ballet. Xian Zhang, conductor; Yo-Yo Ma, cello. November 12, 2022.
NJPAC, Newark, NJ. Grand Tier (Seat D104, $144).ProgramHerald, Holler and Hallelujah by Wynton Marsalis (b. 1961).Cello Concerto in B Minor, Op. 104 by Dvorak.Selections from Four Dances from Estancia by Alberto Ginastera.100 years ago, 19 musicians started an ensemble in Montclair, which eventually evolved to the current orchestra.

Instrumentation: 6 horns, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, tuba, timpani, bass drums, piccolo snare drum snare drum, tom-tom, tambour de Basque, crash cymbals, finger cymbals, ride cymbals, sizzle cymbal, suspended cmybals, crotale, tam-tam, anvil, cowbells, wood block, glockenspiel, marimba, xylophone. A couple of remarks. Don't let the number of instruments fool you, I thought the stage was unoccupied when Langree first came out. Without strings, and with players sitting towards the back, I didn't notice the musicians at all. Also, what's the difference between a tom-tom and […]
