Event details
Princeton University Sinfonia
This event is open to members of the University testing pool (students, faculty, staff) only. Attendees will register onsite for contact tracing purposes.
Come enjoy 40 minutes of music performed by the Princeton University Sinfonia. The program features a nearly unknown orchestral overture by the pre-eminent, 18th-century Viennese composer, Marianna Martines. The Martines overture introduced an oratorio on the story of Abraham and Isaac to a libretto by her mentor, Pietro Metastasio. Haydn’s 1779 opera, The Deserted Island, also set a Metastasio libretto, and Sinfonia will share that opera’s fiery overture. The “pasillo” is a lively Columbian music and dance genre in three, and the Sinfonia winds will premiere an adaptation of Calvo’s Entusiasmo, a “pasillo” originally for piano. And, to highlight the outstanding musicianship of our newest class, Alessandro Troncoso (Class of 2025) performs the finale to Vivaldi’s Piccolo Concerto.
