Asian American and Pacific Islander Month

This month, we're sharing stories about Asian American and Pacific Islander artists!

Meet Xian Zhang, the conductor and music director of the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, as she conducts and discusses her 2020 NJPAC performance of music from Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet. Xian explains that she developed a deep connection to the work after conducting a complete performance of the ballet at La Scala in Milan, Italy. It’s one of the most touching and emotional scores in all of classical music.
