So Percussion has been involved with Princeton University in a number of ways. Most recently, the members of So Percussion were named Edward T. Cone ensemble-in-residence for the 2011-2012 school year. The group has commissioned and recorded major works from Princeton composition faculty Steve Mackey, Paul Lansky, and Dan Trueman, as well as collaborating many times with the Princeton Composer's Ensemble and Princeton Laptop Orchestra.

Famous quotes containing the words princeton and/or university:
“The men—the undergraduates of Yale and Princeton are cleaner, healthier, better-looking, better dressed, wealthier and more attractive than any undergraduate body in the country.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“Within the university ... you can study without waiting for any efficient or immediate result. You may search, just for the sake of searching, and try for the sake of trying. So there is a possibility of what I would call playing. It’s perhaps the only place within society where play is possible to such an extent.”
—Jacques Derrida (b. 1930)
