What was Franz Schubert’s less-than-flattering nickname? Find out when you read my program note on this week’s “At Home with the PSO.”
“At Home with the PSO” is the Princeton Symphony Orchestra’s gateway to original online content, including performance webcasts, photo albums, a virtual gallery, musicians’ recipes, and more, with fresh material being added weekly.
Schubert’s Symphony No. 9 – also known as “The Great” C major symphony – is the focus of this week’s PSO “Play It Forward.” Watch music director Rossen Milanov’s spoken introduction, read my program note, and enjoy a complete performance from the PSO archive.
HOT TIP: In the amount of time it takes to listen to the symphony, you could actually bake double-bassist Dan Hudson’s “Dangerously Easy Blondies.” Simply open another window and call up princetonsymphony.org on a second screen. (You’ll need two screens, because if you back out of the page, the audio will stop!) Look for the recipe listed under “Cooking with the PSO.” More musician recipes are archived at the bottom of the page.
DON’T MISS: The PSO will present a special “At Home” event, this Sunday at 4 p.m. EDT.
The virtual get-together will include performances by violinist Daniel Rowland and cellist Maja Bogdanović, a conversation with Milanov, and an appearance by PSO concertmaster Basia Danilow. Registration is free. Details are available on the PSO homepage, princetonsymphony.org.
If it’s “Great,” it must be pretty good. Check out Franz Schubert’s “Great” C major symphony on this week’s “At Home with the PSO.”
