Princeton Symphony Orchestra Chamber Series Returns to Trinity for 2025–26
The second season opens October 23 with Brahms’ Piano Quartet No. 1.
The Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) will launch its second season of the Chamber Series at Trinity Church on Thursday, October 23, 2025, at 7 p.m. The series brings intimate chamber performances to the historic church on select Thursday evenings.
The opening program will feature Johannes Brahms’ Piano Quartet No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 25, with introductions by Music Director Rossen Milanov, who will also preview Arnold Schoenberg’s orchestration of the piece to be performed that weekend with the full orchestra at Richardson Auditorium. Performers include Natasha Paremski (piano), Marc Uys (violin), Xandi van Dijk (viola), and John-Henry Crawford (cello).
PSO Executive Director Marc Uys, returning to the stage as violinist, said: “The physicality of playing an instrument has always been integral to my love for music. I’m thrilled to be able to participate so fully in the build-up to our tremendous season – performing this extraordinary piece of music with great friends, and assisting Rossen as he sets the scene for our orchestra’s opening performances. I hope everyone will join us for a journey inside the music!”
