Listen Up! Exhibit Opening

View captivating visual art and read literary works inspired by Viet Cuong's Re(new)al. Meet the middle school students whose artistry is on display, as we celebrate their work as part of the Princeton Festival's 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, the students heard the Princeton Symphony Orchestra perform Re(new)al, featuring the musicians of Sō Percussion. 

Listen Up! is a PSO BRAVO! Education Program.

Many thanks to the Arts Council of Princeton for hosting the 2025 Listen Up! workshop.
