In October, the Princeton Symphony Orchestra headed to Princeton’s Palmer Square to shoot a film of Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man featuring its brass and percussion musicians, led by Music Director Rossen Milanov. Filming entailed the use of multiple cameras, including a drone camera, and at the end of the day musicians performed the fanfare for shoppers, families, and everyone nearby. The project was the idea of PSO Executive Director Marc Uys, who noted that for many musicians the project represented “their first and only work in six months. They are extremely grateful, and excited to be playing with colleagues again. The final product will be a high-quality piece, shining a light on Princeton Symphony Orchestra and Princeton’s vibrant downtown.”
