The Princeton Festival has received a grant for $15,000 from the Horizon Foundation of New Jersey. The grant will support the festival’s operations for its 2014 season.
The 2014 season is titled The New World: Voices of the Americas and will run from June 7 to 19. The centerpiece of the season will be George Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess.
In addition, there will be jazz, chamber music, a capella vocal jazz, puppet theater, world music with Cuban roots, a piano recital and a piano competition for young artists.
There will also be free lectures throughout June at local libraries and at the Grounds for Sculpture focusing on the social history, art and literature of the period in which Porgy and Bess was written. There will also be musical previews with the principal artists and the production’s directors.
