Listen Up!

Visual art and literary works inspired by Viet Cuong's piece, Re(new)al were on display during the 2025 Princeton Festival Community Day. 

The Listen Up! Program is an immersive musical and artistic experience for middle school-aged children. Students are invited to a special performance and workshop by the PSO, where they learn from the composer or conductor about the music and the creative process. They are then invited to respond to the concert through different creative mediums; poetry, writing, painting, collage, and more. These experiences are designed to help children access their creative impulses and foster their imaginations through artistic expression. 

This year’s Listen Up! art will showcase student responses to the January 10 concert featuring the Princeton Symphony Orchestra in performance of Andreia Pinto Correia's work Ciprés.
