Princeton Glee Club Come-and-Sing: Fauré Requiem

The Glee Club is the oldest and largest choir at Princeton University, and has for generations served as the ‘hub’ for singers at Princeton – in which like-minded students come together to explore musical passions and make lifelong friendships. The choir tours internationally on alternate years (at no cost to the students!), and has recently added northern Spain and South Africa to the list of stamps in the Glee Club passport. There are six major performances this coming season, and numerous special appearances at functions and gatherings around campus. The choir embraces a vast array of repertoire, from Renaissance motets and madrigals, Romantic partsongs, large choral-orchestral masterworks, and 21st century choral commissions to the more traditional Glee Club fare of spirituals, folk music, and college songs. The spectrum of Glee Club members is perhaps even broader: undergraduates and graduate students, scientists and poets, philosophers and economists – all walks of academic life are represented, knit together by their belief in the nobility and joy of singing together.

Princeton Symphony Orchestra: All Mozart with Orli Shaham

Gérard Korsten leads the PSO in this all-Mozart program featuring gems of the composer’s collection. Referred to by The Chicago Tribune as “a first-rate Mozartean,” Orli Shaham brings her expert interpretation to Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20. At the request of his commissioners, Mozart wrote a fifteen-minute ballet to be performed within his opera Idomeneo, the music of which stands on its own as a stately example of Mozart’s best work. The program concludes with the effervescent Symphony No. 39, a classic in the repertoire.

Melodia Women's Choir: She Sang the Stars

Melodia Women's Choir: She Sang the Stars

Sarah Quartel’s She Sang the Stars is based on excerpts from the epic Finnish poem “The Kalevala.” The piece tells the stories of womanhood in different phases of life through three women from the Kalevala poem. The five movements of the piece are: Start Off Singing; Water-Mother; She Ran; Stealing Fire; Song of the Stars.

Norwegian composer Kim André Arnesen’s setting of the Magnificat was conceived as a prayer for the sick and the poor, out of hope for those who struggle, and as a musical reflection of Mary. Described by Gramophone magazine as a genuine masterpiece, this epic work glows with soaring, beautifully melodic lines. Magnificat is performed with piano, organ, string quartet and bass.

Meredith Monk: Indra's Net

Meredith Monk: Indra's Net

In the ancient Buddhist/Hindu legend, an enlightened king, Indra, stretches a large net across the universe with an infinitely faceted jewel placed at each intersection. Each jewel is unique yet reflects all the others, illuminating the interdependence of all living things. Following an initial concert performance of the work at Mills College in 2021 and a world premiere at the Holland Festival in 2023, this monumental creation receives a full production in its highly anticipated North American premiere. Monk, together with members of her extraordinary Vocal Ensemble, a sixteen-piece chamber orchestra, and an additional eight-member chorus, offers an interplay of music, movement, and architecture to embody celestial, earthly, and human realms through sound, video, and performance. The resulting production serves as a beacon to affirm life and a sense of connection to each other and all living things.
