There’s no better way to honor the 50th anniversary of Shostakovich’s passing than by celebrating his works with New Jersey Symphony. Often cited as “the greatest symphonist of the 20th century,” Shostakovich has penned an astonishing 15 symphonies in his lifetime. One of these stupendous symphonies is his Fifth, which is largely considered to be a pivotal work that delineated a major shift in his music. The Symphony will be performing this pivotal work June 5-8 in Morristown, Princeton, Red Bank, & Newark.
