Jeffrey Grogan is currently the Education Conductor of the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra. Jeffrey Grogan will be leading the orchestra with pianist Andrew von Oeyon. Mr. von Oeyon performed with the Reno Phil in 2007 and was immediately asked to return. He will be performing Beethoven’s popular “Emperor” piano concerto. Since his debut at age 17 with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Mr. von Oeyen has already established himself as one of the most captivating pianists of his generation. A recent graduate of The Juilliard School, Mr. von Oeyen’s performances have been broadcast on National Public Radio and he has been a featured guest on NPR’s “Performance Today.” Mr. Grogan also chose for the concert on September 7th and 9th, 2008, a unique piece by Frank Tichelli entitled Postcard. Mr. Tichelli is a well-known band and orchestra composer, second only to John Phillip Sousa. Jean Sibelius’ intense and patriotic 2nd symphony rounds out the program.
