About the Event

For the final concert in the residency, Maestro Dudamel picks up his baton for the first time and does the thing he does better than anyone else in the world today: inspire and empower young people through the power of music. He will lead the Princeton University Orchestra and Glee Club in a program centered around two great Shakespeare plays, Tchaikovsky’s take on Romeo and Juliet and Mendelssohn’s majestic rendition of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The latter will feature narration by Princeton University students in the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Program in Theater: Victoria Davidjohn ’19, Jacy Duan ‘21, Kateryn McReynolds ‘20
