In Wednesday’s (1217) Town Topics (Princeton, NJ), an unbylined article states, “Bulgarian American violinist Bella Hristova and a work by New York-based Portuguese composer Andreia Pinto Correia will be spotlighted at Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) concerts shortly after the New Year. Hristova marks her January 10-11 return to the PSO as soloist in performances of Sergei Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 1 … Pinto Correia’s Ciprés was composed in 2018 and dedicated to Milanov.” The piece was commissioned by the Virginia B. Toulmin Foundation Orchestral Commissions Program, an initiative of the League of American Orchestras in partnership with the American Composers Orchestra (ACO). “ ‘I am thrilled to have maestro Milanov conducting Ciprés once again, this time with the Princeton Symphony Orchestra,’ Pinto Correia said…. Milanov will conduct both concerts at Richardson Auditorium. Pinto Correia and Hristova will join him in conversation at the January 11 pre-concert talk … Pinto Correia will be present at ancillary events and attend both performances…. On Friday, January 9, Pinto Correia will give a presentation at the Institute for Advanced Study’s Wolfensohn Hall with support from the Edward T. Cone Foundation…. Pinto Correia will work with the students of the 2026 BRAVO! Listen Up! program at a morning workshop.”
