SOUND ON! Disclaimer:
You think this is cool? We do, too, but this capture of an in-headset experience of Mahler Chamber Orchestra’s experience in #virtualReality and #spatialSound does not reflect the ecstasy of the real, full, immersive experience!
It’s virtual reality, but you’ve gotta do it #IRL!
Step into Felix Mendelssohn’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” with us!
Sat-Mon, Jan 11-13, 2025
Timed-entry tickets between 10AM and 10PM are still available.
Visit puc.princeton.edu or call 609-258-2800 to secure your access!

#PUCsoundBites: Maricel spoke with us last year immediately after experiencing our North American premiere of @Mahler Chamber Orchestra's experience in virtual reality and spatial sound (and after she wiped away some tears).
"Future Presence" returns by popular demand Saturday-Monday January 11-13, 2025, this time with a new program! This year's version will immerse you in composer Felix Mendelssohn's iconic, theatrical music from "A Midsummer Night's Dream," inspired by Shakespeare's play.

#PUCsoundBites: More love for study breaks, @musicprincetonu courses, and #Beethoven from a @princeton undergraduate student at last week’s concert with violinist @jamesehnes and pianist @orionweiss_piano

#PUCsoundBites: Sarah points out how our concert last week with violinist James Ehnes and pianist Orion Weiss was not only a welcome break from studying for her and her friends but also HELPED her study for finals!
Good luck to Sarah, her Department of Music at Princeton University classmates, and all Princeton University undergraduates on their Fall 2024 semester final exams!

Our turn to give you a round of applause!
Thank you for your support of our work all year round, and thank you for helping us exceed our #GivingTuesday goal yesterday!
Our goal was to raise $2,600 — $20 for each year of our 130-year existence. We raised $3,535, plus an additional $2,000 thanks to a generous donation-matching pledge from our Committee member Reba Orszag. That brings the total Giving Tuesday tally to $5,353!
THANK YOU!
As with any non-profit presenting organization, ticket sales only cover a small fraction of our production expenses. We are committed to "securing for Princeton audiences better music than they could otherwise afford," as decreed by Philena Fobes Fine in our original charter, by offering the lowest ticket prices in the region.
You can make a year-end, tax-deductible donation to PUC by visiting puc.princeton.edu/support or the link in our bio or by calling us at 609-258-2800.

“Part of my practice is imagining musical family trees and learning from the influences of my influences... I gravitate towards forgotten songs, early or maligned instruments, and languages and performance styles on the brink of extinction. I bring this process of excavation into my own writing, blending old and new, exploring language and mythology. I have been making the unoriginal yet concerted effort to move beyond categorizing music by genre. What I am interested in is exploring, celebrating, and making fun of desire, divulging secrets, dredging up the past, looking under the rug.” —Cecile McLorin Salvant
