Princeton Arts Fest Opens New Lewis Center

Princeton University will celebrate the opening of its new Lewis Center for the Arts complex with a multi-day festival that will feature more than 100 concerts, plays, readings, dance performances, art exhibits, multidisciplinary presentations, film screenings, community workshops and site-specific events. The veritable orgy of the arts will take place October 5-8, and much of it will be free.

Learn about composer Jeff Snyder and his “Wave Fanfare,” which will be performed by PLOrk: the Princeton Laptop Orchestra, So Percussion, and the TILT Brass Ensemble this Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., in my article for the Princeton weekly U.S. 1 Newspaper – PrincetonInfo, out today.

Princeton Sound Kitchen & PLOrk Concerts

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.
