Princeton Festival

The harpsichord shines in this program embracing the old and the new. Leading harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani performs a world premiere work by Julian Grant for solo harpsichord and orchestra. Viet Cuong’s Extra(ordinarily) Fancy cleverly reinterprets the baroque double oboe concerto. The PSO performs Igor Stravinsky’s neo-classical ballet Pulcinella in its full version featuring three vocal soloists.

Serbian-born cellist Maja Bogdanović makes her long-awaited Richardson Auditorium debut with Camille Saint-Saëns’ melodic first cello concerto, one of the most popular in the repertoire. Aaron Copland’s Letter from Home is an emotional wartime offering in Copland’s unmistakable voice. Sergei Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5, one of his most beloved works, completes this program with its powerful message of hope and optimism.
