New Jersey Symphony to Move to New Theater in 2026

The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra (NJSO) is set to move into a new permanent home in Jersey City’s Powerhouse Arts District by spring 2026, marking the first time the orchestra will have a dedicated space since its founding in 1922. The new 44,000-square-foot Symphony Center will feature a 550-seat theater, administrative offices, and multipurpose spaces for education and community programs. This move, supported by public and private funding, is expected to enhance Jersey City's cultural landscape and provide the symphony with a central hub for performances and rehearsals. The new venue will enable NJSO to expand its educational and community outreach programs while continuing performances at other locations, including NJPAC in Newark. Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop highlighted the project as a significant cultural milestone for the city.
