PSO Soundtracks Talk

The #quartweets Project is back! Signum Quartet returns to Princeton in this interactive Soundtracks Talk. The quartet will perform some of their best loved past #quartweets by professional and student composers, and premiere a selection of new #quartweet compositions. Then, the audience will have the chance to compose their own group #quartweet and hear the music come to life!

About the #quartweet Project

Founded by the Signum Quartet, the social media-inspired project was launched at a residency hosted by the Princeton Symphony Orchestra in October 2015. Composers of all ages and experience levels submitted works for performance by the Signum Quartet containing not more than 140 notes – bite-sized works nicknamed #quartweets. 

Notable composers including Caroline Shaw, Julian Grant, Derek Bermel, Steve Mackey, and Sarah Kirkland Snider created music for the project which premiered alongside pieces composed by local elementary school students. The #quartweets project provided an opportunity for anyone to creatively, and compactly, communicate and share their story through music.

Attendees will also have an opportunity to win tickets to the Signum Quartet's chamber concert on May 1st at Trinity Church. 

Soundtracks is presented as a PSO BRAVO! community outreach program in partnership with the Princeton Public Library. 

The series is sponsored in the 2024-25 season by AffinIT.
