The Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) invites patrons, subscribers, and members of the Greater Princeton community to be part of a couch-side, virtual gathering on Sunday, May 31, at 4 p.m. Executive Director Marc Uys will host “At Home with the PSO: A Visit with Rossen Milanov & Friends” and mix of  conversations with musical surprises alongside Edward T. Cone Music Director Rossen Milanov.

Special guests include violinist Daniel Rowland and cellist Maja Bogdanovic, originally scheduled to perform with the PSO at the orchestra’s canceled May concert. PSO concertmaster Basia Danilow will also drop by to talk about music and how she balances life at home.

The public is invited to “Zoom along” and join in, reminiscing about favorite PSO moments and asking questions of the featured speakers and performers. The event is free, but anyone who is interested should register in advance at www.princetonsymphony.org.

Milanov marked his 10th anniversary with the Princeton Symphony Orchestra this season. Rowland has performed in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, New York’s Carnegie Hall, the Royal Albert Hall in London, the Glinka Hall in St. Petersburg, and the Gulbenkian in Lisbon, and has collaborated with many preeminent conductors.

Bogdanovic made her American debut at the 2017 Grand Teton Music Festival. Worldwide concerto engagements have included the Belgrade Philharmonic, Berlin Symphony, Slovenian Philharmonic, Tokyo Philharmonic, and the Tonhalle Orchester/Zurich, among others. Danilow is concertmaster of the Princeton Symphony Orchestra, often appearing as soloist, a member of the Orchestra of St. Luke’s, and an associate member of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra.
