PRINCETON, N.J., April 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Princeton Festival today announced that tickets for its 17th season, running June 2 to June 20, 2021, are now available for purchase through its website (www.princetonfestival.org) or by phone at 609-759-1979.
There will be four live-streamed events from the historic Morven Museum and Garden (https://www.morven.org/) in Princeton, including two concerts of Baroque music on period instruments and two evenings of favorite opera arias and ensembles. A decision on whether to admit limited, socially distanced in-person audiences to these events is pending.
Exclusively virtual events include intriguing and innovative programs created specifically for the Festival by Concordia Chamber Players and the Chicago-based artists' collective Kosmologia, as well as the finals of the 15th annual international piano competition. The Festival will also stream a new series of its popular free lectures and artists' panels beginning June 2.
"We are dedicated to bringing the excitement of live performance to our audiences," said Gregory Geehern, Acting Artistic Director. "This year's live streams feature superb artists in lively and engaging music, and we hope to open them to in-person attendance if the pandemic restrictions permit.
"Online viewers should certainly check out the recorded concerts, which are done as video works of art in their own right."
Performance events start at 7pm; the piano competition streams at 3 pm. The schedule is as follows.
