7:00pm Overture with Maestro Maull / 8:00pm Show
Join us for the Classical Overtures, held an hour prior to the concert, in-person in the Chase Room at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC), 1 Center St, Newark, NJ 07102. These interactive presentations are hosted by Maestro George Marriner Maull and are free to ticket holders.
Today I watched an episode called “Discover Beethoven’s Fifth”, and it was marvelous! Maestro Maull and his talented orchestra gave me a one-hour thrill. I’ve always loved Beethoven, especially his Fifth Symphony. I studied piano for 7 years as a young person, and came to appreciate so many of the classical composers, but Beethoven’s Fifth has always thrilled me. I so appreciated the format of the program, and the Maestro involved all of us and taught us so much. Thank you for this fine program. And many thanks and praise to the orchestra! When the program ended, I clapped loudly and shouted “Bravo!! Bravo!!!”
