New Jersey Symphony to Relocate to Downtown Jersey City

The new state of the art Symphony Center will contain a multipurpose 550-seat theater, as well as education spaces and offices

Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop recently announced that the New Jersey Symphony will soon relocate to a new, state-of-the-art venue in the city's Powerhouse Arts District.

The new, 44,000 square foot Symphony Center will house a multipurpose 550-seat theater, space for education and community programs, and 8,000 square feet for administrative offices. It will also act as the orchestra's home base for artistic, educational, and community offerings — both within Jersey City and throughout Hudson County.

By design, the building has no fixed stage or seating, which allows it to be flexible enough to host a huge range of events. This feature will be especially useful for the orchestra's education and outreach initiatives, which reach as many as 20,000 students across the state each year.

Located on the corner of Provost Street and Morgan Street, the complex will be easily accessible from both the PATH Grove Street station and a nearby light rail station. The venue is expected to open in Spring 2026, provided that interior work can be completed by then.

"This represents a significant milestone in Jersey City’s cultural evolution, creating a key destination for our region with permanent space for world-class performances and community-driven initiatives," said Mayor Fulop. "We started these conversations over a year ago, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome the New Jersey Symphony to their new home in Jersey City. This new endeavor will enhance our economic and cultural landscape and, more importantly, offer unparalleled opportunities to our residents and community."

"I am very excited for the Symphony Center and the many opportunities the new venue will make possible for the organization," said Xian Zhang, the orchestra's Music Director. "It will provide a space for artistic innovation and growth and expand the Symphony's artistic offerings that communities across New Jersey have enjoyed for more than a century."
