Princeton, NJ – The year that the Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) arrived on the Princeton scene, 1980, was coincidentally the same year I started working fulltime for the Princeton Packet. One of my very first assignments was to interview PSO’s founding director Portia Sonnenfeld, a pianist, cellist, conductor, teacher, philanthropist, director of the orchestra program at Princeton High School, and beautiful individual inside and out.

Baskets contain multitudes in ‘Uncontained’ exhibition at Hunterdon Art Museum
Baskets are humble. They are lo-fi, receptive, unobtrusive and helpful. We associate them with fruit, bicycles, modest purchases at the market. They tend to be made of malleable organic materials: rattan, bamboo, willow and coiled rope. Wicker — the weaving technique associated with baskets for centuries — creates sturdy containers, but they are also lightweight and unassuming, the better to swing to a picnic (or provide a hiding place for a big bad wolf).
