Artist in Residence Program

"...to provide an environment that would enrich the synergistic and essential relationship between thought and performance, idea and artistry." - Artist-in-Residence Program mission
  

The Artist-in-Residence program at the Institute for Advanced Study was established in 1994 to create a musical presence within the Institute community, to have in residence a person whose work could be experienced and appreciated by scholars from all disciplines. In 2007, the concert series was named in honor of the late Edward T. Cone, a distinguished composer and musical scholar who had longstanding ties to the Institute and who was on the faculty of the Princeton University music department for more than fifty years.

Composer, clarinetist, and conductor Derek Bermel was named Artist-in-Residence beginning July 1, 2009.  A press release on his appointment may be viewed here. 

Information about the 2011-2012 season may be found here. 

Information about the new online ticketing procedures is available here, and directions to the Institute are available here.

Please note that performances are not suitable for children under the age of eight.

Local classical radio station WWFM is broadcasting a series called Music from the Institute for Advanced Study, co-hosted by Institute Artist-in-Residence Derek Bermel.   The series, which features music from past Artist-in-Residence performances and current concerts in the Edward T. Cone Concert Series, airs between 8 and 10 p.m. on the last Monday of each month, beginning in September.

The program is available live online at http://www.wwfm.org/ or at one of four locations on the dial: WWFM, 89.1 FM in Trenton/Princeton; WWNJ, 91.1 FM in Toms River; WWCJ, 89.1 FM in Cape May (HD); and WWPJ, 89.5 FM in Pen Argyl, PA (HD).

Support the Artist-in-Residence Program

The Institute is pleased to make concerts and related talks featuring well-known performers and others from the music world freely available to the community, and we are delighted with the large crowds that regularly attend the performances.  While we are committed to providing our concerts free of charge, we would be very grateful if you would consider making a contribution to support the Edward T. Cone Concert Series.  Your gift, along with the gifts of others who have enjoyed these concerts, will help us to continue to develop and offer outstanding musical programs.
