Event details
Peter Sellars, Director (Princeton University Concerts)
“It’s not an accident that most of the greatest art comes from the most painful periods in human history,” asserts director Peter Sellars. Internationally renowned for his groundbreaking interpretations of opera and theater on some of the world’s most prestigious stages, from the Metropolitan Opera to the Salzburg Festival, he has dedicated his career to exploring the profound intersection of art and the human spirit. A MacArthur “Genius” Fellow and one of the most visionary voices in contemporary performance, Sellars invites you into an intimate conversation about the art born from his own life’s darkest moments—and how he has harnessed the transformative power of music to help others similarly navigate grief and mourning.
