Saturday, October 25, 2025 · Patriots Theater at the War Memorial Pre-concert performance at 6:00 PM · Composer Talk at 6:45 PM · Concert at 7:30 PM Opening Night: Oh God…Beautiful Machine World Premiere · Vince di Mura, Composer Kick off the 2025–2026 season with an unforgettable evening of music, art, and community. The Capital Philharmonic of New Jersey proudly presents the world premiere of Oh God…Beautiful Machine, a bold new work by Princeton University composer Vince di Mura, featuring text by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Yusef Komunyakaa. This expansive composition—part symphony, part jazz suite, part choral meditation—blends classical orchestra, jazz ensemble, a 30-voice choir, and Chinese instrumental music into a powerful soundscape described as a love letter to the earth. Come early to enjoy a pre-concert musical performance, meet local artists and vendors, and hear directly from the composer in a special talk before the performance. A one-night-only experience that celebrates creativity, culture, and the planet we share.
