Princeton University Concerts Announces 2025-2026 Season

From September 2025 through April 2026, Princeton University Concerts (PUC) will offer 23 performances spanning diverse artists, repertoire, and formats in which to experience chamber music.

Curated series include Concert Classics, Music & Healing, and Performances Up Close. Special events and programming for children, Do-Re-Meet social events, documentary screenings at the Garden Theatre, and free programs and book discussions are also scheduled.

Artists include choreographer Mark Morris, director Peter Sellars, violinist Lisa Batiashvili, violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja, mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, and pianist Paul Lewis. The Belcea String Quartet, the Ebene Quartet, the Australian Chamber Orchestra, the Marmen String Quartet, and the Richardson Chamber Players are also on the schedule.

“When Philena Fobes Fine founded the Ladies Musical Committee in 1894 — the seed that blossomed into today’s Princeton University Concerts—they exclusively presented string quartets,” said PUC Director Marna Seltzer. “Our programming celebrates these beginnings by presenting the world’s greatest string quartets and star string soloists at the lowest prices in the region. That said, there is something for everyone, including fans of great pianists and opera singers. All the artists are bringing exceptionally thoughtful programs, and many are making rare recital appearances.”
