Princeton students perform a concert of songs with music and lyrics written over the 2023 spring semester as the culmination of the Princeton Atelier course “How to Write a Song” co-taught by Tony Award-winning composer Stew and Bridget Kearney, a founding member of the band Lake Street Dive with a number of guest songwriters and music critics. Each week the students, all with varying levels of literary and musical backgrounds, split into different groupings of four or five participants and wrote lyrics and composed tunes on an assigned emotional topic such as gratitude, revenge, desire, joy, remorse, loneliness, protest, and defiance. Check the Princeton Atelier course listings for upcoming “How to Write a Song” classes.
