Princeton Reunions 2017 Music on WPRB
Lock up your daughters! 25,000 visitors are expected to converge on Princeton this weekend for Reunions 2017. 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 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.
Reunions will commence even as I grace the airwaves, this Thursday morning from 6 to 11 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 FM and wprb.com. Orange you glad you can stay home and enjoy the music? We’ll put a tiger in your tank, on Classic Ross Amico.

Princeton Reunions Weekend Music on WPRB
The first post-Prince Princeton Reunions Weekend will take place, starting today, at Princeton University. Whether you’re looking ahead to the P-rade, the concerts, or the fireworks, or you’re simply circling for a parking space, consider tuning in to WPRB to enjoy a full morning of music composed or performed by Princeton faculty and alumni.
Needless to say, Princeton University has had an exceptionally rich musical history, between the mid-century experimentalists, the visiting professors and talented students from around the world, and at least two Pulitzer Prize winners (three if you count Milton Babbitt’s lifetime achievement award). The scene remains vibrant, and we’ll hear works representative of Princeton’s current faculty composers and performers. Music by Milton Babbitt, Paul Lansky, Steven Mackey, and Roger Sessions will be presented cheek-by-jowl with that of Johann Sebastian Bach, Camille Saint-Saëns, Isaac Albéniz and Benjamin Britten.
Fernando Malvar-Ruiz, Litton-Lodal Artistic Director of The American Boychoir, will stop by at around 7:45 to tell us about the organization’s upcoming benefit concert, which will be held at Princeton University’s Richardson Auditorium on June 5 at 4 p.m.
We’ll have the eye of The Tiger, or at least his or her ear, as we present music composed and performed by Princeton University faculty and alumni, from 6 to 11 EDT on WPRB 103.3 FM and at wprb.com. Orange is the color of our true love’s hair, on Classic Ross Amico.
