(SOUND ON!) Don’t you love small-world connections? At our Do-Re-Meet Speed Friend-ing event on Thursday, February 13 at 7PM, you can find a friend and concert buddy to welcome into your world before experiencing the GRAMMY-winning world music instrumentalists (and friends!) of the DoosTrio— kamancheh player Kayhan Kalhor, pipa player @Wu Man, and tabla player Sandeep Das!
You'll meet your fellow concertgoers by participating in 8-minute speed friend-ing sessions while enjoying catered appetizers on the historic Princeton University campus. Everyone will then head over to the concert hall for a thrilling DoosTrio concert. This Speed Friend-ing event is co-hosted by Risa Grimaldi of TheSinglesGroup.com

#PUCsoundBites: Stephen Kim, the Princeton University Art Museum Associate Director for Information and Technology, reacts to Mahler Chamber Orchestra’s experience in virtual reality and spatial sound, which we presented as an installation running last Saturday through Monday, January 11-13 — Sound on for the full burst of enthusiasm! #virtualReality #classicalMusic #artsAndTechnology
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: 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!
