Can’t-Miss 2026 Tickets: New Jersey Symphony Delivers Big Sounds & Big Nights Out for All

The New Jersey Symphony is in its second century of making music — and its leaders have perfected presenting engaging performances that make classical music feel adventurous for all ages and backgrounds.

If you are a music connoisseur, shop for tickets and series now to get the best selection. Similarly, if you haven't seen live classical music lately, now's the perfect time to explore the symphony's 2026 line-up for a performance that fits your style and needs.

The New Jersey Symphony has venues spread across the state, so it's easy to find the best performance for you:

• Relaxed performances for those who might need to bring comfort items or leave their seat occasionally to best enjoy the performance
• Family concerts with shorter performances and more to watch on stage
• New Jersey Symphony at the Movies, in which the orchestra performs the score live as the movie plays on a large screen
• Traditional symphony performances that minimize audience disruptions and feature well-known classical works

Once you find the venue and performance that sparks your sense of adventure, the rest of your "big night out" falls into place. The symphony website offers answers to questions first-timers might have, as well as parking instructions and nearby restaurant recommendations. If you've never experienced the shared drama of the lights dimming and the music starting, you're in for a treat.

If you're looking for some upcoming performance recommendations, might we suggest:

• Romeo & Juliet with The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey from Jan. 29–Feb. 1 in Newark and Red Bank, including a relaxed performance.
• Lunar New Year Celebration (Year of the Horse) on Feb. 7 at NJPAC.
• Mendelssohn’s “Italian” led by Joshua Bell in mid-May at multiple NJ venues, including a relaxed performance.

The 2026 season promises so many can't-miss moments, so we encourage you to shop for tickets now. They might be a great last-minute gift idea, or an adventure that makes dreary New Jersey winters more fun! Shop at njsymphony.org.
