Quadrangle Club - Musical Tradition

Musical Tradition

With some funding from the Undergraduate Student Government, the Quadrangle Club has hosted to some of the biggest concerts on Princeton's campus, including Barenaked Ladies in 1993. In recent years it has only strengthened its tradition of hosting famous musical acts, with performances by Lifehouse, and Maroon 5 in 2003, and 2004, respectively. These concerts have been documented as having drawn more than half of the university's entire undergraduate population. Below is a listing of the groups that have performed at the club in recent years at the semiannual University-wide festival called "Lawnparties". It is also of note that, over the past few years at smaller events, the club hosted Welbilt on multiple occasions, befriending the band and was honored with one of their final performances before the band's break up.

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or tradition:

    “Syncopations are no indication of light or trashy music, and to shy bricks at “hateful ragtime” no longer passes for musical culture.”
    —Scott Joplin (1868–1917)

    “Because it’s not only that a child is inseparable from the family in which he lives, but that the lives of families are determined by the community in which they live and the cultural tradition from which they come.”
