Émigré — the new song play composed by Aaron Zigman, with libretto by Pulitzer Prize-winner Mark Campbell and additional lyrics by Brock Walsh — premieres with Shanghai Symphony Orchestra on 17, 19 and 20 November. Long Yu conducts the orchestra with New York Philharmonic Chorus and Lanzhou Concert Hall Choir at the Jaguar Shanghai Symphony Hall, featuring soloists Andrew Dwan, Arnold Livingston Geis, Diana Newman, Shenyang, Matthew White, Meigui Zhang, and Huiling Zhu.

Émigré tells the story of two Jewish brothers who arrive in Shanghai in 1938, part of the wave of 30,000 European Jewish refugees who fled to China following Kristallnacht.

Deutsche Grammophon will record Émigré with Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, Long Yu, the Lanzhou Concert Hall Choir, New York Philharmonic Chorus, and the opening night cast. The album is set for digital release in Spring 2024 with worldwide physical release in Summer 2024.
