Xian Zhang takes the podium for a program of fantasy and fairytale wonder. Zemlinsky's musical portrait of The Little Mermaid makes an orchestral splash in its first Garden State performance. Tony Siqi Yun tackles Rachmaninoff's final work for piano and orchestra. The overture to Wagner's only comedy, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, kicks things off with songful brassiness.
