Bay Atlantic Symphony Kicks Off 40th Anniversary Season

ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY, USA, October 17, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- International violin sensation Stefan Jackiw returns to South Jersey to kick off Bay Atlantic’s 40th anniversary season with a sensational solo performance of Benjamin Britten's Violin Concerto, Op. 15 with a full orchestra. The Concert also includes Jean Sibelius’ shimmering Symphony No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 82, a symphony in three movements. This is the first of a five-concert season celebrating Bay Atlantic’s 40th Anniversary and the 25th anniversary of Maestro and Music Director Jed Gaylin.

Performances take place at the Guaracini Performing Arts Center at Rowan University Cumberland Campus in Vineland at 3 pm on Saturday, October 22 and Sunday, October 23 at 2 pm.

Jackiw is one of America’s foremost violinists, captivating audiences with playing that combines poetry and purity with an impeccable technique. He has appeared as soloist with the Boston, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco symphony orchestras. He will also perform Britten's Violin Concerto with the Cleveland Orchestra this season.

Bay Atlantic Symphony Music Director Jed Gaylin said "I think of this 40th Anniversary concert season as "Questions and Responses," where we give voice to sempiternal dilemmas and challenges that are nonetheless so specific to our time; and in each program we return with powerful, affirming responses."

Robert Dragotta of Bridgeton, NJ is the new president of the Bay Atlantic Symphony Board of Trustees. He has been engaged with the Symphony in various ways for much of its history. A Cumberland County native, the longtime producer of Broadway and Atlantic City entertainment and national advertising, brings energy and community commitment to his new Board post.
