What’s new? Why, music from Princeton Sound Kitchen (PSK) and the Princeton Laptop Orchestra (PLOrk), of course!

PSK will host This is How we Fly on Tuesday. The ensemble – made up of Irish fiddler Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, Dublin jazzman Seán Mac Erlaine, Appalachian hard shoe dancer Nic Gareiss, and Swedish percussionist Petter Berdalen – will perform music by six Princeton composers, alongside some of its own material.

On Wednesday, PLOrk will present “Medi3val Dr3@ms,” revisiting music of composers of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and lending it a distinctly 21st century spin. The orchestra will employ custom-designed electronic musical instruments, live performer brain-waves, and even audience participation, as attendees compose a percussion piece using their cell phones.

The concerts will take place at Princeton University’s Taplin Auditorium in Fine Hall. Both events have an 8 p.m. start time. Read all about it in my article in today’s Trenton Times.
