Sat 3.02 @ 8:00 p.m. Batman™ in Concert | New Jersey

Symphony NJ premiere
For the first time, the DC Universe is coming to audiences, live. The
2024 Batman™ in Concert Tour comes to New Jersey in this one night only

concert co-produced by NJPAC and New Jersey Symphony. This unique
experience will allow audiences to watch Tim Burton’s Oscar-winning film,
Batman, starting Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson like never before with the
full Danny Elfman score performed LIVE by the New Jersey Symphony
orchestra. 2024 is the 35th anniversary of Batman (1989). Danny Elfman came

up with Batman’s theme while on a long flight—ducking into the airplane
bathroom multiple times to record himself singing the melody so he wouldn’t
forget. The flight attendants were suspicious, but it became one of the most
iconic superhero themes of all time. Fans unite and dress up in your favorite
Batman or DC costume for this event!

Sat 3.30 @ 3:00 p.m. Academy of St Martin in the Fields with Joshua
Bell

The Academy of St Martin in the Fields is one of the world’s finest chamber

orchestras, renowned for fresh, brilliant interpretations of the world’s greatest
orchestral music. Through unrivalled live performances and a vast recording
output – highlights of which include the 1969 bestseller Vivaldi’s Four
Seasons and the soundtrack to the Oscar-winning film Amadeus – the
orchestra gained an enviable international reputation for its distinctive,
polished and refined sound. With over 500 releases in a much-vaunted
discography and a comprehensive international touring program, the name
and sound of the ASMF is known and loved by classical audiences throughout

the world.

Today the orchestra is led by Music Director and virtuoso violinist Joshua Bell,
retaining the collegiate spirit and flexibility of the original small, conductor-
less ensemble which is an ASMF hallmark. Under Bell’s direction, ASMF

continues to push the boundaries of player-directed performance to new
heights, presenting symphonic repertoire and chamber music on a grand
scale at prestigious venues around the globe. With a career spanning over 30
years as a soloist, chamber musician, recording artist, conductor and
director, Joshua Bell is one of the most celebrated violinists of his era. As an
exclusive Sony Classical artist, Bell has recorded more than 40 albums
garnering Grammy®, Mercury®, Gramophone and ECHO Klassik awards.
