PRINCETON NJ snapshot

PRINCETON, NJ—Princeton University Concerts (PUC)'s 2026-27 season offers more unique opportunities to experience the world's most celebrated musicians, among friends. From September 2026-May 2027, 17 performances span diverse artists, repertoire, and formats in which to experience chamber music, with 14 artists making their Princeton University Concerts debut. Curated series include:

• Pianists in Recital Series [New]: Building on a legacy of more than a century of presenting chamber music, this newly imagined series celebrates the singular artistry of the solo pianist. Responding to a growing audience for piano recitals, the series brings together extraordinary artists from across the season into one compelling arc: Sir Stephen Hough, Tony Siqi Yun, and Mitsuko Uchida.

• Concert Classics Series: A tradition since 1894, this mainstage series presents world-renowned chamber musicians in the intimacy of Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall: the Brentano, Ébène, and Danish String Quartets; cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras with pianist Alexandre Tharaud; violinist Nemanja Radulovi? with the Double Sens Chamber Orchestra; soprano Asmik Grigorian with pianist Lukas Geniušas; pianist Stephen Hough; and a trio comprised of violinist Hilary Hahn, cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, and pianist Benjamin Grosvenor.

• Performances Up Close Series: This one-of-kind series invites audiences on stage with performers for informal, hour-long concerts repeated twice in an evening. This season's programming includes the Sandeep Das Trio; mezzo-soprano Ema Nikolovska with guitarist Sean Shibe; pianist Tony Siqi Yun; the Junction Trio; and violinist Isabelle Faust with harpsichordist Kristian Bezeidenhout.

• Music and Healing Series: A thought-provoking exploration of the intersection of music, healing, and the human experience. The series' fifth season features renowned artists such as actor Alec Baldwin, jazz pianist Brad Mehldau, and pianist Mishka Rushdie Momen.

• Special Event: An intimate evening with world-renowned pianist, Mitsuko Uchida.

• Community Engagement: Princeton University Concerts continues to partner with the many excellent musicians on campus through masterclasses and other events; and engage with the community through Do-Re-Meet pre-concert social events; documentary screenings at the Princeton Garden Theater; and free programs including Live Music Meditations, the Annual Chamber Jam, and book discussions at the Princeton Public Library.

CONCERT CLASSICS SERIES

"Our Concert Classics Series is built on relationships that deepen over time—between artists and audiences," says PUC Director Marna Seltzer. "This season brings that idea into focus, pairing Princeton debuts with the return of musicians and ensembles our audiences have fallen in love with—artists whose journeys we've had the privilege to witness. Made all the more special by our intimate, acoustical gem of a concert hall—beloved by artists and audiences alike—these concerts balance the spark of first encounters with the richness of familiarity, creating a season that feels both immediate and full of discovery."

We open Princeton University Concerts' 133rd Concert Classics Series with a dream come true: the beloved Brentano String Quartet returns to their former home stage (1999–2014) for an evening of quiet wonder on October 1, 2026, inviting us to begin another season of inspiring music together.

Then, on November 5, 2026, French cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras and pianist Alexandre Tharaud bring decades of friendship and shared curiosity to Princeton University Concerts. Queyras, long cherished by our audiences, makes his long-awaited recital debut with Tharaud as the duo celebrates thirty years of musical partnership. The Montrealer calls them "a duo whose chemistry is almost sibling-like."

Sir Stephen Hough returns on January 28, 2027, for a long-awaited solo recital after dazzling as both pianist and composer alongside the Tákàcs Quartet in 2025. Beloved familiar melodies are refracted through jaw-dropping pianistic imagination; the line between concert hall and fantasy blurs. Sir Hough effortlessly explores the world through the multi-focal lens of pianist, composer, writer, thinker.

February and March will bring more PUC favorites. On Wednesday, February 10, 2027, The Danish String Quartet—GRAMMY®-nominated and somehow still radiating the vibe of four friends who wandered onstage and decided to casually redefine chamber music—is back by popular demand. Then on Wednesday, March 31, 2027, the Ébène String Quartet, one of the most revelatory, fan-favorite ensembles in our recent history, return to mark Beethoven's 200th anniversary with a program that moves from the wit and invention of his early quartets to the depth and daring of his late works.

Princeton University Concerts is also excited to introduce audiences to brilliant newcomers making their PUC debuts.

Serbian-French violinist Nemanja Radulovi?—as close to a rock star as classical music gets—fearless, electrifying, and utterly captivating, makes his long-awaited Princeton debut on November 11, 2026, with his sparkling Double Sens Chamber Orchestra. Crowned "International Revelation of the Year" at the Victoires de la Musique and winner of the 2024 OPUS KLASSIK Award, Radulovi? is celebrated for his fiery virtuosity, spontaneous energy, and infectious joy on stage.

On December 3, 2026, internationally acclaimed opera superstar Asmik Grigorian and pianist Lukas Geniušas—two of the most thrilling young artists on the global stage—invite audiences into the intimate, emotional world of Russian song. Together, they bring to life a world of longing, distance, and bittersweet dreams, transforming intimate emotion into unforgettable musical drama.

Violinist Hilary Hahn—making her long-awaited Princeton University Concerts debut—joins two beloved returning artists, cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason and pianist Benjamin Grosvenor, to conclude the Concert Classics series on April 26, 2026. One of preciously few engagements for the trio, this exciting new collaboration continues the celebration of Beethoven's 200th anniversary by exploring his early chamber music that bursts with a sense of discovery and daring similar to that of this rare artistic meeting.

SPECIAL EVENT

A singular piano recital brings the 2026–27 season to a close: pianist Mitsuko Uchida returns to PUC for an intimate solo performance on Tuesday, May 11, 2027, at 7:30PM offering an introspective program centered on late works and distilled expressions by Haydn, Mozart, Schoenberg and Schubert.

"Mitsuko Uchida has a unique ability to draw audiences into the inner world of the music," says Seltzer. "Over many visits, she has built a special connection with PUC audiences, and it feels especially meaningful to welcome her back for a solo recital that closes the season in such a reflective and personal way."

PERFORMANCES UP CLOSE SERIES

This beloved series, where audiences sit on stage alongside the artists for hour-long performances at 6:00 and 8:30 PM, continues with a season celebrating its innovative spirit. Beginning in collaboration with the Princeton University Department of Mathematics on Thursday, October 15, 2026, PUC presents the Sandeep Das Trio and the intricate rhythmic structures of Shastriya Sangeet—classical music of the Indian subcontinent; next, PUC offers the exciting artistic pairing of Mezzo-Soprano Ema Nikolovska and guitarist Sean Shibe (October 27, 2026) for a program inspired by Virginia Woolf's "Orlando;" and PUC ends the calendar year with energetic, emerging star pianist, Tony Siqi Yun on December 9, 2026. The Junction Trio, bringing together PUC favorites pianist Conrad Tao, violinist Stefan Jackiw, and cellist Jay Campbell— individually acclaimed and collectively electric—livens the stage on February 3, 2027 with fresh new works; and the series concludes on March 3, 2027, with Isabelle Faust on violin and Kristian Bezuidenhout on harpsichord, treating us to Bach, Biber, and Froberger.

Do-Re-Meet social events for music lovers, including pre-concert speed-dating, speed-friending, and an LGBTQIA+ Mingle, will be paired with select concerts in this series as an extension of the community-building heart of the Performances Up Close series. These events are available for priority registration to curated series subscribers and will become available to the public when single tickets go on sale.

MUSIC & HEALING SERIES

PUC's Music & Healing series celebrates its fifth anniversary this season, and it continues to delve deeply into the intersection of music, healing, and the human experience through events combining conversation, film, and performance. The 2026–27 season builds on this exploration of how, in an everchanging world, music can serve as a constant point of reflection—helping us consider how we understand ourselves, and how we relate to others—while also offering moments of focus, perspective, and renewal.

On Friday, September 25, 2026, legendary actor Alec Baldwin will join us for an intimate conversation about how, through the challenges of a very public life, classical music has remained a constant refuge—a space for reflection, renewal, and quiet clarity.

On Sunday afternoon, November 1, 2026, pianist Mishka Rushdie Momen explores music as an act of empathy, resilience, and human connection. Having come of age witnessing the persecution of her uncle, author Salman Rushdie, and in the aftermath of the horrific attack against him, the decision to devote her life to the arts carries particular weight.

The fifth anniversary series concludes in partnership with the Princeton University Art Museum on Monday, April 19, 2027, as jazz pianist Brad Mehldau joins us in the intimacy of the new museum's Grand Hall for a conversation inspired by his recent memoir, permeated by live performance. Reflecting on the years when artistic discovery and personal crisis unfolded side by side, he traces the influences that shaped him and speaks candidly about addiction, loss, and rebuilding a life through music. He considers how music became not an escape from difficulty, but a way through it, inviting audiences to reflect on how lived experience is carried into the art we make and the art we love.

"After last season's meaningful exploration of grief and loss, we turn now to the ways in which we can find ourselves again in music," says series curator Dasha Koltunyuk. "It is wonderfully uplifting to invite you to join us for a season of renewal and connection!"

12026–2027 SEASON CONCERTS AT-A-GLANCE

*Denotes Princeton University Concerts debut

All concerts are held at Richardson Auditorium,

Alexander Hall on the Princeton University campus,

unless otherwise noted.

PRINCETON, NJ, March 16, 2026– The Princeton University Art Museum announces Photography as a Way of Life: Minor White, Aaron Siskind, and Harry Callahan, an exhibition exploring the intertwined careers of three of the most influential photographers and teachers in mid-twentieth-century America. On view in Princeton from April 19 through September 7, 2026, and then traveling, the exhibition draws on the rich photography holdings of the Princeton University Art Museum and its Minor White Archive to bring together iconic and previously unpublished color and black-and-white prints, rarely seen slides, and an array of published and archival materials that illuminate a vision of making a living and shaping a life through photography.

"Photography as a Way of Life highlights a pivotal historical moment when photography emerged as a serious academic discipline and a viable artistic profession, and thus as a way of being and living," said James Steward, Nancy A. Nasher–David J. Haemisegger, Class of 1976, Director of the Princeton University Art Museum. "White, Siskind, and Callahan did more than make extraordinary photographs: They built institutions, communities, and ideas that continue to shape how photography is taught and valued today."

Tracing the decades after World War II, Photography as a Way of Life explores how Minor White, Aaron Siskind, and Harry Callahan redefined photography as both an artistic practice and a professional vocation. Coming to the medium from distinct backgrounds and visual traditions, these three artists converged around shared commitments to abstraction, deeply personal expression, and the belief that photography could sustain a life's work.

The exhibition takes its title from a recurring phrase in Minor White's diaries and letters, in which he described photography as a "way of life." For White, the phrase encompassed artistic ambition, pedagogy, and personal growth—a vision he advanced as a founding editor of Aperture, the influential photography magazine launched in 1952. Siskind and Callahan were central figures in White's vision for the field, with their work prominently featured in Aperture alongside broader discussions of photographic education and postwar art photography.

"Princeton University holds a central place in the academic study of photography, with a proud legacy of stewardship and landmark scholarly exhibitions," said Brendan Fay, exhibition curator. "The Minor White Archive is one of the cornerstones of that legacy, and it's an honor to present an exhibition that builds on that strength during the new Museum's inaugural year."

From the 1940s through the 1970s, amid booming markets for Kodak snapshots and photojournalism, photography began to take root within higher education. White, Siskind, and Callahan were among the first generation of college-level photography teachers, developing models of photographic education during the GI Bill era that quickly spread across colleges and universities in the United States. While achieving critical success through books, exhibitions, and museum acquisitions, these artists also helped catalyze the creation of academic programs, publishing ventures, and professional societies that defined the postwar photographic landscape.

Highlights of the exhibition include a reconstruction of White's Slow Dance, a projected sequence of color slides performed for live audiences in the late 1960s and 1970s, as well as materials from magazines and journals ranging from Popular Photography and Aperture to poetry publications and The Black Photographers Annual. The exhibition also traces the expansive networks shaped by these photographers, featuring works by more than forty additional artists, from Alfred Stieglitz and Dorothea Lange to Anthony Barboza and Donna-Lee Phillips.

The exhibition is accompanied by a richly illustrated exhibition catalogue copublished by the Museum and Princeton University Press. While on view in Princeton, the exhibition will inspire a number of public programs, including a two-day symposium beginning April 30, a film series, and a talk by curator Brendan Fay on April 18. Attendees to the curatorial talk will have the opportunity to preview the exhibition alongside Museum members prior to the exhibition's public opening the following day. Visit the exhibition website for a full list of related programming.

Photography as a Way of Life is curated by Brendan Fay, associate professor of art history in the School of Art & Design at Eastern Michigan University and is organized and presented by the Princeton University Art Museum. Following its debut at Princeton, the exhibition will travel through 2028, with presentations at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta; the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, Massachusetts; and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri.
