The Princeton Festival has been bringing quality performing arts programming to town since 2005. This year is no exception. A variety of genres, including jazz, country, Baroque, and Indian music and dance, will entertain audiences this June. Artistic Director Richard Tang Yuk has expanded the offerings since its inception, and this year’s selections are quite impressive.
