Who has a thirst for live music?
Up next on The Princeton Festival, enjoy a tall drink of water (or wine or beer) with The Claremont Trio. Tonight’s program will include works by Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel, Canadian composer Kati Agócs, and Antonin Dvořák. The concert will take place at 7:00 in the performance pavilion at Morven Museum & Garden.
Tomorrow, hilarity and improvisation characterize “Broadway’s Next Hit Musical.” Start thinking of your creative song title now! If selected, it could form the basis for a raucous evening’s entertainment.
On Thursday, Boyd Meets Girl, the husband-and-wife duo for cello and classical guitar, will offer perhaps quieter rewards with its recital across the street at Trinity Church Princeton. Repertoire will range from Bach to Messiaen to Lennon & McCartney.
Back in the performance pavilion, Friday will bring the first of three performances of Rossini’s “The Barber of Seville,” in a production employing Cubist set designs. Rossen Milanov will conduct the Princeton Symphony Orchestra.
On Saturday, dancers from American Repertory Ballet will join the Attacca Quartet for expressive interpretations of works by John Adams and Caroline Shaw and some arrangements of Scandinavian folk tunes.
The Princeton Festival will run through June 25, largely on the grounds of Morven Museum & Garden at 55 Stockton Street (Route 206).
Boyd Meet Girl and a Baroque concert featuring The Sebastians will be offered across the way at Trinity Church Princeton, at 33 Mercer Street.
The festival’s “big top,” an 11,000 square-foot, clear-span (no poles or obstructed views), open-sided performance pavilion, allows for easy access to refreshments, ample picnicking opportunities, a garden stroll, or the simple enjoyment of a late-spring/early-summer evening.
The Princeton Festival is the premier summer arts program of the Princeton Symphony Orchestra. For complete listings and ticket information, visit princetonsymphony.org/festival.
