b'Welcometo the Princeton Festival!The stage is set, performers are in the wings, and we are ready to open the 2022 Princeton Festival! For the first time, we are presenting nearly all the Festivals performances under a single expanse for a true summer performing arts extravaganza! Since the merger of the Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) with the Princeton Festival in the summer of 2021, we have been planning a season designed to bring exciting, top artists like Storm Large and Sierra Boggess to Princeton. We are enticing performing arts lovers from near and far to experience something new here, whether it be watching an opera like Derrick Wangs Scalia/Ginsburg, listening to thrilling orchestral works performed by the PSO, Aaron Diehls jazz set, chamber music with the Signum Quartet, Broadway show tunes, or discovering the timelessness of Baroque music performed by The Sebastians and the Festival Chorus. We are proud to continue the Princeton Festival tradition of offering free community programs such as the Just Poetry: Workshop and Readings, the PSO BRAVO! poetry and art project for schoolchildren, and the many Festival talks at public libraries, adult communities, and at Morvens Stockton Education Center on a range of topics connected to our programming.We are so thankful to everyone in the Princeton area for supporting our efforts. Many thanks to all of our artists, production crews, and staff for their energy behind the scenes, and to all of you for coming out to the Princeton Festival!Now let the magic of a summer evening embrace you. Let your spirit soar with each memorable melody and every shine of the spotlight.With warmest wishes,Rossen Milanov Gregory Jon GeehernEdward T.
