The Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on September 26 to officially open its new offices at 1000 Herrontown Road. The orchestra was previously based on the grounds of Princeton Charter School but outgrew the space as its staff doubled in size.
“We were bursting at the seams, particularly as the pandemic eased and our staff began to transition from remote work to a full return to the office,” explained Executive Director Marc Uys.
Outreach by Uys and Stephanie Wedeking, chair of the PSO board, connected them with Experience Princeton and in turn Charlie Yedlin, president of the Yedlin Company, the property management firm overseeing the complex of buildings at 1000 Herrontown Road. Yedlin reconfigured and refreshed the space with architect and interior designer Sheila Nall.
“Stephanie and I met with Charlie and Sheila regularly to ensure that our entire full-time staff of 12 would fit comfortably,” said Uys. “We also created a flexible conference room space with a table which breaks down into multiple desktops in anticipation of seasonal staff brought on board each year to assist with the Princeton Festival.”
“It’s a great, smart-looking space that we’re very proud of, right here in Princeton,” added Uys.
There is no public box office or performance space at the administrative site. For more information or to purchase concert tickets, visit www.princetonsymphony.org or call 609-497-0020.

Robert Hillier; PSO executive director Marc Uys; Charlie Yedlin of the Yedlin Company; and board chair Stephanie Wedeking.,
