The Princeton Symphony Orchestra recently unveiled its plans for both this summer’s Princeton Festival, which runs June 5-21, and its orchestral season, which kicks off Oct. 17. The festival includes concerts by the Baroque and Classical chamber ensemble The Sebastians and an evening of dance by the American Repertory Ballet, performances by the Bacon Brothers band and soprano Sondra Radvanovsky, an evening of Broadway with Sierra Boggess, and a production of Puccini's Madama Butterfly. It will also pay tribute to the 250th anniversary of the U.S. with American music and family festivities during its final weekend.
During the 2026-2027 season, the PSO will feature appearances by violinist Simone Porter, cellist Joshua Roman, soprano Christine Goerke and pianist Max Lando; perform music by Joan Tower, Mozart, Schubert, Haydn and Michael Abels, as well as a new work by Gregory Spears; and conclude the season with Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, joined by the Westminster Symphonic Choir.
A Tempo host Rachel Katz chats with the symphony’s Music Director Rossen Milanov and Executive Director Marc Uys about the choices for the season.
