Princeton University Concerts

Princeton University Concerts Experience the world's most celebrated musicians—among friends. Follow us to stay in the loop on our many events!

Our upcoming 124th season brims with nonstop surprises through programming spanning everything from 17th-century “pub music” performed on period instruments with beer accompaniment (Barokksolistene) to a Galician bagpipe virtuoso (Cristina Pato, of the Silk Road Ensemble) exploring Latino music. The programs will both welcome back veterans of PUC -- including the Brentano String Quartet with speci

al guest pianist Jonathan Biss; the Tenebrae Choir; the Artemis String Quartet; the Danish String Quartet, among others -- and will invite new names both of rising stars, such as 24-year-old pianist Benjamin Grosvenor, and some of the most legendary figures in the field, such as pianist Sir András Schiff. A special event, "Shostakovich and The Black Monk,” a musical-theatre piece co-commisioned by PUC featuring the Emerson String Quartet and seven actors, will showcase our commitment to leading the charge in innovative concert presentation through multimedia experiments, flexible concert formats, and unorthodox collaborations.

TOMORROW, Wednesday, March 18 at 7PM, we’ll be screening “Porcelain War” at The Garden in anticipation of ’s Music & Healing series event “Sounding Defiance: Georgia & Ukraine.” 

From Oscar®-winning producer and acclaimed war correspondent-turned-director Brendan Bellomo, “Porcelain War” is a harrowing, visually arresting portrait of artists on the frontlines of the war in Ukraine. Filmed amidst the rubble and resilience of an active war zone, the documentary follows three Ukrainian creatives who choose to fight not only with weapons, but with their art—painting, sculpting, and dreaming amid destruction. With rare, intimate footage and powerful cinematic imagery, Porcelain War becomes a defiant testament to beauty as a form of and survival.
We’re more than lucky; we are deeply fortunate to have music in our lives.
