Audience Voices
WRITING & DRAWING CONTEST FOR AUDIENCE MEMBERS
The annual Audience Voices Contest, designed to capture music’s impact as perceived by PUC concertgoers, was launched in the 2022-23 season. You can peruse the augural winning entries below.
The Audience Voices Contest is inspired by an annual program for Princeton University undergraduate and graduate students, organized to connect students to the arts and celebrate classical music’s unique contributions. The winning student entries from previous contests are available for viewing on the Creative Reactions Contest page.
The 2023-24 iteration of the contest is organized as part of the Impromptu Challenge.
