New Jersey Symphony

After his 2023 concerts here, you asked and the wunderkind-violinist Randall Goosby returns. Two Romantic European classics flank American composer Samuel Barber’s hauntingly beautiful concerto–a perfect vehicle for Goosby who The New York Times praises for his ability to create “a catharsis of joy.”

Jean Sibelius Finlandia
