Tomorrow, get ready for a ton of princely music on WPRB, as we kick off Princeton University Reunions Weekend with a morning full of works 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 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.
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, this Thursday morning from 6 to 11 EDT on WPRB 103.3 FM and wprb.com. Orange is the color of our true love’s hair, on Classic Ross Amico.
