New Jersey Youth Symphony presents
Of Our New Day Begun: Celebrating Black History Month:
This signature concert is a confluence of music, dance, and a story beyond cultural boundaries. Maestro Maull partners with Helen H. Cha-Pyo, Conductor of the New Jersey Youth Symphony, to explore Florence Price’s Juba Dance. The performance features dancers from The Newark School of Arts with Maurice Chestnut, Choreographer.
I was delighted to hear George Marriner Maull’s “Inside Music” when he discussed how to listen to and enjoy Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, the 4th movement. To have the words of the choral Ode to Joy translated and explained (word for word) was enlightening and inspiring as well. And to learn all the intricacies of the music itself was fascinating.
