Performance at the Veblen Birthday Bash--Saturday, July 25

The Sustainable Jazz Duo will perform July 25 (raindate July 26) outdoors at Herrontown Woods as part of an annual celebration of the birthdays of Oswald and Elizabeth Veblen, original donors of the first nature preserve in Princeton. The event runs from 4-8pm. Our all-original jazz and latin, featuring Steve Hiltner on sax/clarinet and the totally orrsome Phil Orr on keyboards, will commence at 5pm. Bring a picnic if you want, and enjoy the tranquil Veblen House grounds. Park at 600 Snowden Lane or 452 Herrontown Road in Princeton, NJ. 

This year's celebration is extra special because it includes the unveiling of the extraordinary Hope's Community Collage, which turns the community's love for Herrontown Woods into a work of collective art.

More info below, from the website of the event's sponsor, the Friends of Herrontown Woods.

"Three years in the making, the opening celebration of Hope’s Community Collage is a thank you to all the artists — visitors, long-time devotees, and workshop attendees alike — who contributed their unique creative pieces to become one community artwork. The collage began as Hope’s project to support the Veblen House renovation and has grown into a shared expression of this community’s creativity. The waterproof piece will be on display on the Veblen House “Outside Gallery” walls for all to admire that pass through our woods. Join us for refreshments, live music, and the chance to make old and new friends. Everyone is welcome — bring the whole family. Thank you for being part of the FOHW community. Rain date: July 26, 2026."
