In 1934 Leopold Stokowski brought The Philadelphia Orchestra to Princeton to perform Bach’s Mass in B Minor with the Westminster Symphonic Choir in the Princeton University Chapel to celebrate the opening of the Westminster Choir College campus in Princeton. Since then, this ensemble, which is composed of all juniors, seniors and graduate students at the Choir College, has performed with virtually all of the leading orchestras and conductors of the 20th and 21st centuries.
