Mosaic Youth Chorus (MYC) announces the launch of Troubadours, a new non-auditioned 12 week program serving children in grades 4, 5, and 6. Troubadours will provide instruction in vocal technique, musicianship, ensemble skills, and leadership. MYC provides a nurturing environment where every young person can thrive and express their authentic artistic selves. We focus on giving youth voice and addressing topics of importance to young people. Troubadours provides foundational instruction to start young singers on this journey.

Lisa Batiashvili doesn’t just play the violin—she conjures worlds with it. Hailed as “the complete musician” (The Times, London), she has mesmerized audiences in the world’s most revered halls — including a spellbinding 2015 appearance in Richardson Auditorium. Now, in this rare and intimate duo recital, she joins forces with Giorgi Gigashvili, the young Georgian pianist protégé of Martha Argerich, whose volcanic energy and poetic touch are making waves across the globe. Their program is a journey through raw emotion and staggering virtuosity—Beethoven’s Violin Sonata No. 3 brims with charm and fire, setting the stage for Bartók’s electrifying Violin Sonata No. 1, where wild folk rhythms and searing intensity push both musicians to the edge. A new work by Josef Bardanashvili, a fellow Georgian whose music pulses with mystery and soul, makes its Princeton debut before the night closes in the rapture of Franck’s Violin Sonata—a piece so intoxicatingly beautiful it’s been called “a love letter in music.” This concert is a high-voltage meeting of artistic minds, generations, and traditions—a program of music that grabs you and doesn’t let go, performed by two of the most magnetic artists of our time.

Join us for a special evening of music and community at an upcoming benefit concert supporting Habitat for Humanity. Renowned concert pianist Jim-Isaac Chua will perform the timeless works of Chopin, Schubert, and Brahms, creating an intimate and interactive concert experience. Guests are invited to stay for both pre- and post-concert receptions with light refreshments while supporting Habitat for Humanity’s mission to bring people together to build homes, communities, and hope.

Two of the most exciting soloists working today, Thomas Mesa (cello) and JP Jofre (bandoneon) come together for a morning of tango and tango-inspired works that spotlight the unusual combination of their instruments, cello and bandoneon, while allowing each performer to shine.

GatherNYC is a revolutionary concert experience founded in 2018 by cellist Laura Metcalf and guitarist Rupert Boyd. The 2025-2026 season includes 31 concerts that run from October 2025 through May 2026, with concerts held every Sunday at 11am in The Theater at MAD.

Guests at GatherNYC are served exquisite live classical music performed by New York’s immensely talented artists, artisanal coffee and pastries, a taste of spoken word, and a brief celebration of silence. The entire experience lasts one hour and evokes the community and spiritual nourishment of a religious service – but the religion is music, and all are welcome. Coffee and pastries are served before each performance at 10:30am.

Join us for this five-week online memoir workshop. Write to inspiring prompts, get insightful feedback and connect with a supportive community of writers.

Many memoir drafts languish in the space of interiority, failing to hook readers or advance the narrative. How can we make ourselves understood without getting caught up in endless introspection and over-explanation? In this supportive, lighthearted workshop, we’ll read memoirs and personal essays that illuminate the self by focusing our attention beyond it. Led by Sienna Zeilinger.

Joshua Bell conductor & violin
New Jersey Symphony

Perhaps America’s finest violinist, Principal Guest Conductor Joshua Bell shows his astonishing range in this two-hour European tour: Mendelssohn’s surging Hebrides Overture finds Bell leading from the concertmaster seat; then he stands in the solo spotlight for the Spanish symphony that is (wink, wink) all about the violin; finally Bell takes the conductor’s podium for Mendelssohn’s ebullient “Italian” Symphony, full of sun-splashed melodies.

Felix Mendelssohn The Hebrides (Fingal’s Cave)
Édouard Lalo Symphonie espagnole
