New Jersey Symphony Orchestra welcomes Augustin Hadelich for works by Saint-Georges and Beethoven In October

originally published: 09/29/2021


(NEWARK, NJ) -- The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra welcomes Grammy-winning violinist Augustin Hadelich for performances of works by the Chevalier de Saint-Georges and Beethoven, October 14–17 in Newark and Morristown. Nicholas McGegan conducts.

Performances take place October 14 at 1:30pm and October 16 at 8:00pm at NJPAC in Newark and October 17 at 3:00pm at Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown. Tickets are available online at njsymphony.org or by phone at 1.800.ALLEGRO (255.3476).

Hadelich’s previous engagements with the NJSO have inspired critical acclaim. The Star-Ledger hailed his “poignant and exhilarating” performance of Sibelius’ Violin Concerto with the Orchestra in 2012, writing, “[Hadelich] displayed impressive range as he conveyed lyricism and mania, gravity and impishness. His musicality served him well.”

“[W]hen it’s just him and the violin, the physical world recedes. All you experience is the music. Hadelich somehow brings you back in time,” the paper wrote in 2018.

McGegan has garnered acclaim as “an energetic figure on the podium. Sometimes he doesn’t so much conduct as pull and push the music into life, shaping it with care—indeed, love. He fairly radiates joy,” writes Dallas Morning News.
