SUMMARY:Princeton University Concerts present: Asmik Grigorian\, Soprano & Lukas Geniušas\, Piano
DESCRIPTION:Making their Princeton University Concerts debuts\, internationally acclaimed opera superstar Asmik Grigorian and pianist Lukas Geniušas—two of the most thrilling young artists on the global stage—invite audiences into the intimate\, emotional world of Russian song. Crowned “Opera Singer of the Year” in 2025 at the International Opera Awards and hailed by The Guardian for her “velvet-wrapped steel” voice\, the Lithuanian soprano has captivated audiences at leading opera houses from Salzburg to Berlin to the Metropolitan Opera with unforgettable portrayals of Madama Butterfly\, Jenůfa\, and Salome. Now\, she turns her dramatic brilliance to what she calls “small pieces of opera in a few minutes”: the exquisite songs of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff. Grigorian is joined by her frequent collaborator and compatriot\, Lukas Geniušas—Silver Medalist at both the 2015 Tchaikovsky Competition and 2010 International Chopin Competition—who also performs solo piano works interwoven with the song cycles. Together\, they bring to life a world of longing\, distance\, and bittersweet dreams\, transforming intimate emotion into unforgettable musical drama.

SUMMARY:Princeton University Concerts present: Tony Siqi Yun\, Piano
DESCRIPTION:Still in his early 20s\, Canadian pianist Tony Siqi Yun has already assembled the kind of résumé that reads less like a beginning and more like an arrival: Gold Medalist at the China International Music Competition\, a breakthrough Carnegie Hall debut with the Orchestre Métropolitain under Yannick Nézet-Séguin\, and a steady presence on some of the world’s most revered stages. A 2024 graduate of the Juilliard School\, he performs with a rare blend of precision and daring—polished\, yet never predictable; searching\, restless\, and unmistakably his own. Be part of the excitement as we welcome this remarkable new voice for his Princeton University Concerts debut\, in a program that showcases the epic sweep and technical pyrotechnics of Beethoven and Liszt bookended by Busoni’s monumental reimagining of J.S. Bach — composers whose works remain a pianist’s ultimate calling card.

SUMMARY:Princeton University Concerts present:  Stephen Hough\, Piano
DESCRIPTION:Sir Stephen Hough returns to Princeton University Concerts for a long-awaited solo recital after dazzling as both pianist and composer alongside the Tákàcs Quartet in 2025. Leading us from the intimate Klavierstücke of Schubert\, Brahms\, and Schoenberg to the lightning bolt of Beethoven’s “Waldstein” Sonata and the dreamlike theater of Schumann’s Carnaval\, the program culminates in Hough’s own virtuosic arrangements of songs from Mary Poppins. As these beloved familiar melodies are refracted through jaw-dropping pianistic imagination\, the line between concert hall and fantasy becomes blurred. Sir Hough moves effortlessly between worlds: pianist\, composer\, writer\, thinker. Knighted\, a MacArthur “Genius” Fellow\, and widely regarded as one of today’s great polymaths\, in his hands a recital becomes an evening of storytelling\, wit\, and wonder.

SUMMARY:Princeton University Concerts present: Danish String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:The Danish String Quartet—GRAMMY®-nominated and somehow still radiating the vibe of four friends who wandered onstage and decided to casually redefine chamber music—is back by popular demand.  The ensemble has spent two decades building a reputation for sold-out halls\, adventurous programming\, and a discography that jumps effortlessly from core repertoire to their now-iconic\, revelrous trilogy of folk albums. That same anything-can-happen spirit drives this program: former Princeton PhD student Gabriella Smith’s Carrot Revolution kicks things off with a wink and a manifesto (yes\, the carrot—via a misattributed nod to Paul Cézanne—is doing the overthrowing)\, splicing together echoes of J.S. Bach\, Pérotin\, and centuries of musical history into something gloriously uncontained. Then comes Dmitri Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 14—lean\, late\, and quietly devastating\, like a confession you weren’t meant to overhear. And just when things threaten to get too serious\, the quartet pulls the rug out (or maybe lays down a dance floor) with their signature Nordic folk arrangements\, cracking the concert hall open and letting the outside world rush in. Expect virtuosity without pretense\, tradition with a raised eyebrow\, and a night celebrating endless possibility.

SUMMARY:Princeton University Concerts present: Ébène String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Beethoven was not one to mince words. Sending out the parts for his String Quartet No. 12\, Op. 127\, he insisted that each player “undertakes to do his duty and…vie in excellence with the others.” Enter the Ébène Quartet\, fresh from a monumental\, six-continent journey recording all sixteen Beethoven quartets. One of the most revelatory\, fan-favorite ensembles in our recent history\, they mark the composer’s 200th anniversary with a program that moves from the wit and invention of his early quartets—those written when he had\, in his own opinion\, “only now learned to write quartets properly”—to the depth and daring of his late works. Across two centuries\, it’s a meeting of kindred spirits: Beethoven’s restless imagination\, and an ensemble whose boundless artistry has earned an equally devoted following as they\, indeed\, vie in excellence.

SUMMARY:Princeton University Concerts present: Hilary Hahn\, Violin & Sheku Kanneh-Mason\, Cello & Benjamin Grosvenor\, Piano
DESCRIPTION:There is always a special spark when three soloists come together to make chamber music. When those three soloists are all-stars\, that spark ignites into something all the more extraordinary.  Violinist Hilary Hahn—making her long-awaited Princeton University Concerts debut and hailed by The Washington Post as “one of the preeminent violinists of our time”—joins two beloved returning artists: cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason\, celebrated as “the most in-demand cellist in the world” (Bachtrack)\, and pianist Benjamin Grosvenor\, named one of the “50 best classical pianists on record” (Gramophone). Coming together for preciously few engagements\, this exciting new collaboration will explore the early chamber music of Ludwig van Beethoven—music that bursts with a similar sense of discovery and daring that lies at the heart of this rare artistic meeting.

SUMMARY:Princeton University Concerts present: Mitsuko Uchida\, Piano
DESCRIPTION:Dame Mitsuko Uchida has become a cherished presence at Princeton University Concerts. Whether appearing as soloist with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra\, in duo partnership with pianist Jonathan Biss\, or in song recital alongside tenor Mark Padmore\, she has continually deepened her connection with Princeton audiences\, reminding us each time why she is regarded as one of the defining pianists of our time. We now welcome her back in the most intimate setting: a solo recital program featuring music of remarkable inwardness. Joseph Haydn’s haunting set of F Minor Variations and Mozart’s deeply introspective Rondo in A Minor frame Arnold Schoenberg’s concentrated Six Little Piano Pieces\, music that distills an entire emotional world into moments of striking brevity. The evening culminates in Schubert’s Piano Sonata in A Major\, D. 959 — one of the composer’s final works and among the most expansive and humane statements in the piano repertoire. To close our season with these extraordinary works— and with an artist so uniquely attuned to their spirit — is a rare privilege. We are honored to have Dame Mitsuko Uchida offer the 2026-27 season’s final word.
