PRINCETON UNIVERSITY GLEE CLUB
The Princeton University Glee Club presents the annual Walter L. Nollner Memorial Concert on Sunday afternoon, March 3 at 3 pm at Richardson Auditorium in Alexander Hall. Led by esteemed Choir Director Gabriel Crouch, the ensemble performs Handel's Israel in Egypt with The Nassau Symphonia and an acclaimed roster of soloists including countertenor Ryland Angel, tenor Dann Coakwell, and bass-baritones Dashon Burton and Jonathan Woody, as well as sopranos Maya Kherani and Lily Arbisser, both Princeton graduates and now professional singers. Composed by Handel in 1738, the choruses take center stage in this vivid oratorio which tells the story of the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. Maestro Crouch describes this spectacular work as "basically an opera for chorus on a biblical text." This concert is also part of the American Handel Society Festival and Conference being held this year at Princeton.

Tickets are $15 general, $5 students. Call University Ticketing at 609-258-9220.

COMPOSITION COLLOQUIUM
Speaker:
Paula Matthusen, Topic to be announced.

Paula Matthusen is a composer who writes both electroacoustic and acoustic music and realizes sound installations. In addition to writing for a variety of different ensembles, she also collaborates with choreographers and theater companies. She has written for diverse instrumentations, such as "run-on sentence of the pavement" for piano, ping-pong balls, and electronics, which Alex Ross of "The New Yorker" noted as being "entrancing". Her work often considers discrepancies in musical space—real, imagined, and remembered.

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY ORCHESTRA
The Princeton University Orchestra opens the spring semester with two concerts featuring three of the winners of the  2013 Concerto Competition on Friday evening, March 8 and Saturday evening, March 9 at Richardson Auditorium in Alexander Hall.  Led by Maestro Michael Pratt, Director of Princeton’s Program in Musical Performance, and guest conductor Ruth Ochs, both performances begin at 7:30 pm.  The program includes Bach’s Piano Concerto No. 5 in F Minor, BWV 1086 performed by Paul von Autenried ’16, Vivaldi’s Bassoon Concerto in E Minor, RV 484 featuring Louisa Slosar ’15, and Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in C Major, Op. 15 performed by Jeff Li ’13.  In addition, the orchestra performs Wagner’s Preludes to Acts I and III, Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde.  In the words of Maestro Pratt, “Wagner's Tristan is arguably the most passionate music ever written, and will be played with the white-hot intensity of first love by Princeton's amazing young orchestra.”  He adds:  “The concert featuring the winners of the annual concerto competition is always one of our highlights. These brilliant students always amaze our audiences, playing at a dazzling level. That they do is all the more astounding considering that they are maintaining a demanding academic load as well.”.
