Join us for a joyous celebration with live music, poetry, art, and feasting at the Princeton University Art Museum

As part of this year’s Being Human Festival on the theme of ‘Discoveries and Secrets,’ the Collegium Institute, working in conjunction with the Princeton Humanities Council, the Carl Scmitt Foundation, and the Princeton University Art Museum, is proud to sponsor ‘The Art of Being Human: St. Cecilia in Poetry, Music, and Art.’

Centered on Edward Burne Jones’s luminous stained glass portrait of the pensive Saint Cecilia, this event will feature a screening, a poetry tour, a reception, a concert, and a roundtable conversation in an interdisciplinary effort to explore depictions of Saint Cecilia across different art forms from different centuries.
