Campus Connections
As part of one of the world’s foremost centers of learning, we are committed to integrating our programming with the university’s activities, and to expanding our ever-growing connections to the Princeton University community.
Our integral relationship with the Department of Music – a key partner in bringing music to Princeton – is at the heart of this academic synthesis. We gratefully acknowledge the in-kind support we receive from the Department of Music.
If you have an idea for a collaboration, we would love to hear from you! We are eager to create partnerships channeling the energy of students and faculty from every corner of campus.
Curricular
Ties
Hearing music related to students’ research and scholarship performed live is a thrilling amplification of the academic experience, and an inspiring gateway into deeper understanding and exploration. We have partnered with faculty and courses at the Center for Human Values, Department of Music, Humanities Council, Lewis Center for the Arts, Music Cognition Lab, Program in Latin American Studies, and School of Public and International Affairs.

Campus
Life
We hope to fill every corner of campus with music! We love working with our Student Ambassadors to provide a warm, inclusive, and enthusiastic home for our community of music-loving students. Our hugely popular Breathe in Music program with the Office of Religious Life relieves stress and promotes mindfulness through music and meditation. Our Creative Reactions Contest, co-sponsored by the Office of Dean of Undergraduate Students, provides a creative outlet for students (and the chance to win a cash prize!). In partnership with Trenton Arts at Princeton, we also invite young students from the Trenton community to take part in music on campus.
University Leadership
We are proud to serve the university administration at the Offices of the President, Community and Regional Affairs, and Alumni Affairs by providing a conduit to their constituents through the arts.
