The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra will hold its annual Edward T. Cone Composition Institute from July 9 to 14 at Princeton University, culminating on July 14 with the NJSO performing music by each of this year’s four emerging composers: Jonathan Cziner, Natalie Dietterich, Aaron Hendrix, and Brian Shank. During the week, composers will participate in masterclasses with Institute Director Steven Mackey, receive feedback from conductor David Robertson and NJSO musicians, and have career-building sessions with music-industry leaders. The July 14 concert at Princeton’s Richardson Auditorium will feature Cziner’s Resonant Bells, Dietterich’s Aeolian Dusts, Hendrix’s Night Train, and Shank’s Into the Rose Garden. The program will also include “Echoes” from Mackey’s Mnemosyne’s Pool. The institute is a collaboration between the NJSO and Princeton University Department of Music and is funded in part by the Edward T. Cone Foundation and Princeton University.
