To the Editor:

As a supporter of the Princeton Festival, I wish to compliment the gala committee which organized the ”Fanfare for the Festival” on April 21. It was a splendid affair, celebrating the upcoming 14th season. Excellent hors d’oeuvres and dinner were provided. Entertainment included singers from this summer’s musical, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and opera, Madama Butterfly.

This year, the Princeton Festival will offer several baroque and chamber music performances, a piano competition, and a jazz concert. There will also be numerous free lectures and workshops associated with this year’s events, with everything scheduled from late May to the end of June.

The Princeton Festival provides a premier musical and educational program each summer. It is an important component of the area’s annual slate of cultural events.
