State Theatre New Jersey of New Brunswick has announced a new Sound Studio Series, described as “an immersive musical experience that places you in the heart of the performance.” The 3 p.m. concerts on September 28, October 12 and November 23 take place in the theater’s Studio space.

On September 28, pianist Julian Jenson and soprano Susana Leiva perform works by often overlooked women composers from the last two centuries, with a special focus on France and beyond. On October 12, violinist Eric Tsai and pianist Lohan Park play works by Ysaye, Mozart, Debussy, and Shih-Ching Ju.

The final concert in the series on November 23 features pianist Enriqueta Somarriba and soprano Maria Brea in “Verses in Song.” The program revolves around the theme of music and poetry in four different languages with music by such composers as Liszt, Debussy, Florence Price, Copland, and Hugo Wolf.
