Lock up your daughters! 25,000 visitors are expected to converge on Princeton this weekend for Reunions 2016. This Thursday morning on WPRB, we acknowledge the impending influx of humanity and commensurate Tiger Pride with music composed and performed by Princeton University faculty and alumni.

Composers may include Princeton professors Milton Babbitt, Earl Kim, Paul Lansky, Steven Mackey, Bohuslav Martinu and Roger Sessions, and students and alumni Peter Maxwell Davies, Caroline Shaw and Julia Wolfe.

Performers may include Princeton University Chapel organist Eric Plutz, current ensemble-in-residence So Percussion, former ensemble-in-residence the Brentano String Quartet, performance faculty members Geoffrey Burleson and Laura Oltman, conductor alumnus Gilbert Levine, and William H. Scheide’s Bach Aria Group.

As always, it depends on how much we are able to shoehorn in.

We’ll have a special guest in the form of Fernando Malvar-Ruiz, Litton-Lodal Artistic Director of The American Boychoir. He’ll be by at around 7:45 to tell us about the organization’s upcoming benefit concert, to be held at Princeton University’s Richardson Auditorium on June 5 at 4 p.m.

Reunions will commence even as I grace the airwaves, Thursday morning from 6 to 11 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 FM and online at wprb.com. Orange you glad you can stay home and enjoy the music, on Classic Ross Amico?
