Princeton University Concerts: “Little Listeners: Time for Music"

Saturday March 14, 2026
1:00 PM

On Saturday, March 14, 2026, at 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM, Princeton University Concerts (PUC) welcomes Rami Vamos and the Bayberry String Quartet.

Imagine time as a big, blank piece of paper, just waiting for something magical. We can't draw on time with crayons, but we can fill it with beautiful music! In this fun and playful program, we'll discover how time makes music special. We'll feel the steady beat (like music's very own heart!), tap along to rhythms, and zoom fast or slow with tempo. Along the way, we'll see how music can match our feelings—whether we're happy, sleepy, or ready to dance! Let's make time for music together!

In these "Little Listeners" concerts, curated for children ages 3-6 and their families and adapted for neurodiverse audiences, including children with autism or other special needs, host Rami Vamos and the Bayberry String Quartet will bring little listeners on a fun, interactive journey, exploring works by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Dvorák, Rorem, and Leroy Anderson. Tickets for Princeton University Concerts' family programs go quickly. They are available at puc.princeton.edu or by phone at 609.258.9220 ($6 for children; $11 for adults). Tickets may also be available on the day of the concert, starting at 12:15PM at the box office at Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall.
