"Vaudeville in Teal:" A World Premiere Leads PSO’s Joyfully Theatrical March Program
"One of the guiding principles of the Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) is to feature the work of contemporary composers connected to the Princeton community. Its March 7-8 concerts include the world premiere of Vaudeville in Teal, a harpsichord concerto by long-time Princeton resident, British-born Julian Grant–performed by world-renowned harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani. The Orchestra will also perform Extra (ordinarily) Fancy, a double oboe concerto composed by Viet Cuong, a doctoral graduate of the University’s music composition department. Cuong’s dynamic percussion quartet concerto, Re(new)al, was enthusiastically received last season. Stravinsky’s Pulcinella completes the program."
