Culture and cultivation find common ground, as the Princeton Symphony Orchestra commences its new Garden Chamber Series, tomorrow night, on the grounds of Morven Museum.
These live events will highlight the talents of the orchestra’s individual instrumental sections and showcase PSO principal musicians. Concerts will take place on select Thursday evenings in September and October.
The series will begin tomorrow, September 24, at 5:30 pm, with the PSO Brass Quintet performing an eclectic program of Bach, Bernstein, Mozart, Mancini, Holst, Fats Waller, Eubie Blake, Tielman Susato, and John Philip Sousa.
On October 8 at 5:30 pm, PSO woodwinds will take the stage to perform Samuel Barber’s “Summer Music,” Valerie Coleman’s “Umoja,” and more.
A third concert is scheduled for October 15 at 5:30 pm. Program information for that event is pending.
Outdoor seating and social distancing will be in place for all concerts. The PSO will provide marked-off, socially-distanced “pods” for up to two people. Attendees should plan to bring a lawn chair or a blanket. A designated picnic area will be open from 4 pm to the start of the concert.
Morven Museum & Garden is located at 55 Stockton Street in Princeton. Ample free parking is available at the end of the museum’s driveway.
