Soundtracks Talk: The Story of Orpheus and Eurydice
Advertisement
The Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, famously rendered by the Roman poet Virgil, is one of the most enduring in the Western canon — as full of inspiration today as it was centuries ago. Artists, writers, playwrights, and composers have kept the tragic tale alive through countless reimaginings.
Storyteller Maria LoBiondo offers a delightful retelling of this classic myth and invites you to explore its meaning as a preview to Dobrinka Tabakova's orchestral work "Orpheus' Comet", to be performed on the PSO’s season-opening concert.

Attendees of the talk will have the opportunity to enter a drawing to win tickets to the Princeton Symphony Orchestra's October 25th and October 26th concerts.
Soundtracks is presented as a PSO BRAVO! community outreach program in partnership with the Princeton Public Library.
The series is sponsored in the 2025-26 season by AffinIT.
This event is free and open to the public.
