Pianist Benjamin Grosvenor To Perform At Princeton University Concerts

PRINCETON, NJ — Pianist Benjamin Grosvenor will return to the Princeton University Concerts (PUC) series on Thursday, Nov. 7, at 7:30 p.m. at Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall on Princeton University’s campus.

Grosvenor was named one of the top 50 pianists ever on record by Gramophone in 2023. He last came to PUC in 2017, when he was in his early twenties.

This recital opens the Concert Classics series, the mainstage concert series that forms the backbone of Princeton University Concerts’ 131-year history. There is also an exciting lineup of pianists appearing as part of the 2024-25 season, including Igor Levit (Nov. 3); Denis Kozhukhin (Dec. 11); Sir Stephen Hough (Feb. 20); Mitsuko Uchida (March 27); and Shai Wosner (April 2).

“We are so thrilled to welcome Benjamin Grosvenor back to PUC,” Director Marna Seltzer said. “His jaw-dropping talent was apparent in his debut on our series in 2017 and I absolutely cannot wait to experience how it has continued to evolve since then.”

Princeton University students will also have the opportunity to get to know the pianist at a special reception the evening before his recital. This event is being co-hosted by the Student Ambassadors of Princeton University Concerts and Rockefeller Residential College.

“The access to the world’s greatest performers facilitated by PUC was one of the most formative and unforgettable aspects of my time as a Princeton student,” PUC Outreach Manager Dasha Koltunyuk said, “and it is thrilling to see the enthusiasm with which current students are greeting Benjamin. It reminds us how truly unique it is to host a concert series on a university campus.”
