The Creative Reactions Contest is one of Princeton University Concerts’ (“PUC”) programs aimed at engaging Princeton University students in classical music. The fourth annual reiteration of this contest included two categories: Creative Writing and Visual Arts. 75 students signed up for the Creative Writing category, attending a range of concerts throughout the first half of the 2017-18 season. 20 students enrolled in the Visual Arts category, attending a performance by the Tenebrae Choir at the Princeton University Chapel in March. All students were asked to creatively respond to and relay their experience of hearing live chamber music. As in past years, submissions were anonymous and could use any written form for the Creative Writing category – including free verse, prose, poetry, narrative, and lyrics – and any medium that could be digitally submitted for the Visual Arts category.
