The Onegin Project
Richardson Auditorium in Alexander Hall, 8:00PM
The Prokofiev/Krzhizhanovsky Eugene Onegin, banned by the Stalinist regime in 1936, will receive its much-delayed world premiere. Prokofiev's original score, orchestrated for 40 instruments, will be performed by the Princeton Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Rossen Milanov. Woven into this performance will be a dance-intensive staging of several major theatrical episodes directed by Princeton dance faculty member Rebecca Lazier with choreography by Princeton alumna Sydney Schiff and choral interludes by the Princeton University Glee Club under the direction of Gabriel Crouch. The performance will also include the world premiere of a Concerto for Bass Drum commissioned from Prokofiev's grandson, Gabriel Prokofiev, and performed by renowned percussionist Joby Burgess.

Julia Fischer, Violin
Milana Chernyavska, Piano
Musical Preview played by Princeton Students at 7:00PM
Richardson Auditorium in Alexander Hall, 8:00PM
PROGRAM: MOZART Sonata No. 32, K. 454
SCHUBERT Rondeau Brilliant, D 895
DEBUSSY Sonata in G Minor
SAINT-SAËNS Sonata No. 1 in D Minor
Princeton University Concerts continues its 2011/2012 season with with the young violin virtuoso Julia Fischer making her Princeton debut with pianist Milana Chernyavska on Thursday, February 16, 2012 at 8pm in Richardson Auditorium in Alexander Hall. The program will feature works by Mozart, Schubert and Debussy, and Saint-Saëns. An ensemble of Princeton Students will play a musical preview concert at 7pm, free to ticketholders. Julia Fischer was born in Munich, Germany in 1983, and now ranks among the world's top violinists.
With a blazing career, huge technique, large discography, Frankfurt professorship and an infant son, Julia Fischer does not often perform in the United States, which makes us especially fortunate to have her. "She may have spitfire technique," observed the Financial Times, "but the notes are not an end in themselves but purely a means to expressing musical truths." Her program on the 16th concludes with a sonata by Saint-Saens, which closes with a virtuosic movement that's sure to knock audience socks off. View a video preview here.
TICKETS:
$40, $30, $20, Students $10, $5
For tickets, call 609-258-9220 or visit the university ticketing website.
