The lively acoustics of the art galleries for medieval, Byzantine and Islamic art set the stage for the transcendent music of the Princeton Singers.

This year's program ranges from Gregorian chant to Josquin's masterful Missa pange lingua and features excerpts from Olivier Messian's Cinq rechants, his stunningly erotic, virtuosic setting of the medieval Tristan myth.

There will be a reception Saturday from 6:30 to 8 PM and on Sunday following the 5:30 PM performance. Tickets are available online through University Ticketing or by calling 609.258.9220.
