  • IAS Concerts Where Einstein Once Roamed

    IAS Concerts Where Einstein Once Roamed

    Albert Einstein. John von Neumann. Kurt Gödel. J. Robert Oppenheimer. The Institute for Advanced Study has been a magnet for the world’s greatest minds. But it’s also the home of some very smart concerts.

    This season, the Institute’s Edward T. Cone Concert Series will commence on Friday and Saturday with Meredith Monk and her vocal ensemble. The concerts will be held at IAS’s Wolfensohn Hall, 1 Einstein Drive, in Princeton. Admission is free, with tickets available through an online registration system. To reserve, visit ias.edu/air and click on “2019-20 Edward T. Cone Concert Series.” Acting promptly is advised. The venue seats 220, and it tends to fill up very quickly.

    For more information on this season’s concerts and to learn more about the Institute for Advanced Study, check out my article in this week’s U.S. 1 Newspaper – PrincetonInfo, out today.

    Morricone’s Olympic Anthem Italy or Princeton

    Allegedly, Ennio Morricone has stated that he will write a new Olympic anthem, but only if Milan is selected as host for the 2026 Winter Games.

    If Princeton is selected, I will write the anthem, and for half the fee.

    Westminster Choir College Sale Hopeful But Uncertain

    This news broke late yesterday afternoon, but I am only just getting around to posting about it. In the same week that the American Boychoir stunned everyone with the announcement that the organization would be folding, effective immediately, after 79 years, cautious optimism is about the best I can muster for an unknown buyer of Westminster Choir College, particularly since contracts have yet to be signed. Let’s everyone keep our fingers crossed. Princeton can’t afford to lose another cultural institution, especially one of this magnitude.

  • WPRB Webstream Down Tune to 103.3 FM

    WPRB Webstream Down Tune to 103.3 FM

    I’m sorry to report, if you live outside the range of our analogue signal, that the WPRB webstream at wprb.com is down this morning. I’m told that we’re working to get it up again as soon as possible. If you live as far south as Philadelphia, or even further (I’ve received the signal all the way down into Delaware), or west, into the Lehigh Valley, for instance, try to get us on your radio. We’ve actually got pretty good analogue coverage at WPRB 103.3 FM. In the meantime, we apologize for the inconvenience. Hopefully we’ll be back soon!
