The Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) announces a special 2024-25 Season capturing the passions of guest artists, including violinists Leila Josefowicz and Aubree Oliverson, pianist Orli Shaham, Princeton University’s Performers-in-Residence Sō Percussion, and pianist Natasha Paremski, with programming designed to showcase their extraordinary artistry and technical prowess.
In celebration of his 60th birthday, Edward T. Cone Music Director Rossen Milanov has created a line-up of favorite works including concertos by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Igor Stravinsky, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and Viet Cuong’s Re(new)al.
Ludwig van Beethoven’s Triple Concerto will display the talents of PSO concertmaster Basia Danilow and principal cellist Alistair MacRae with pianist Steven Beck.
“I’m thrilled and excited to celebrate with the musicians of Princeton Symphony by performing works by some of my favorite composers. This season promises to bring to life spectacular music, with emotionally charged performances by passionate artists that I love to share the concert stage with,” Milanov said.
In addition to Viet Cuong, other living composers include Gemma Peacocke, Michael Abels, and Carlos Simon. There are also symphonies by Johannes Brahms, Sergei Prokofiev, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ludwig van Beethoven, an all-Mozart concert conducted by Gérard Korsten, plus choral music by Brahms and Tchaikovsky performed by Rider University’s Westminster Symphonic Choir.
All performances will take place on select Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 4 p.m., at Richardson Auditorium on Princeton University’s campus. Rossen Milanov conducts all but the all-Mozart program in February.
The season opens Sept. 14, with additional performances Sept. 15; Oct. 19 and 20, Jan. 11 and 12; Feb. 8 and 9; March 8 and 9; and May 10 and 11.
