Chase away the rainy-day blues with Dvořák’s sunniest symphony!

The Princeton Symphony Orchestra continues its “At Home with the PSO” series, as music director Rossen Milanov introduces the Symphony No. 8. Escape into a world of birdsong, uplifting fanfares, and continuous melody, influenced by the Czech countryside. The live performance took place at Richardson Auditorium on March 24, 2019.

“At Home with the PSO” is a gateway to original online content – performance webcasts, musicians’ recipes, photo albums, and more – with fresh material being introduced weekly.

While you’re over there, at the PSO website, check out the new Virtual Gallery. Explore artwork and creative writing by student participants of the PSO Bravo program by navigating a 3-D space. Click on the speakers located throughout the gallery to hear Saad Haddad’s Clarinet Concerto, the PSO co-commission that inspired the works adorning the virtual walls.

Then search under “Cooking with the PSO” to learn how to bake Chunky Chocolate Drops with concertmaster Basia Danilow. Rossen Milanov’s Maple Soy Sauce Glazed Tofu is archived at the bottom of the page. A new recipe on the way on Wednesday!
