  • Ruth Ochs Conductor
    Ruth Ochs Conductor Conductor and educator, RUTH OCHS, is Lecturer in Music at Princeton University, where she conducts the Princeton University Sinfonia and teaches undergraduate music performance courses. She holds degrees in music and orchestral conducting from Harvard University (magna cum laude with highest honors in music) and the University of Texas at Austin (Master of Music in orchestral conducting), and completed her Ph.D. in musicology at Princeton University with a dissertation on Karol Szymanowski’s neo-nationalist ballet, Harnasie. As a Fulbright Scholar, she studied music at Humboldt Universität in Berlin, Germany, and she has studied the Polish language at the Uniwersytet Jagielloński in Kraków, Poland. A student for many summers at the Pierre Monteux School in Hancock, Maine, the School’s director, Maestro Michael Jinbo, was her principal conducting mentor. In 2008 she served as the School’s first conducting associate. When she arrived at Princeton in the fall of 2002, Ochs assumed directorship of the Princeton University Sinfonia and steered its growth from a chamber orchestra to a full-size symphonic orchestra performing repertory from the baroque to the most recent, including new works by Princeton University student composers. She also has worked closely with the Princeton University Orchestra, leading rehearsals and sectionals, and conducting the orchestra often in concert. Passionate about raising the bar with all aspiring and eager musicians, Ruth Ochs also shares her time with community and youth orchestras. She is now in her twelfth season as conductor and music director of the Westminster Community Orchestra, based in Princeton, New Jersey. With that orchestra, Ochs has led successful opera gala performances, collaborations with partner ensembles and performance faculty from the Westminster Conservatory of Music, and a popular series of children’s concerts.

  • Open Space and Recreation Element
    1996 PRINCETON COMMUNITY MASTER PLAN Adopted – November 10, 2011 page 84 VIII. OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION ELEMENT INTRODUCTION The Master Plan serves as a guide for the governing bodies, Regional Planning Board, and the public on appropriate uses for vacant land in the Princeton Community. The Community is approaching build-out and less than 10 percent of the Princeton Community (approximately 969 acres) is identified as vacant or farmland on the tax rolls. Of these 969 acres about 689 acres are developable. However, additional development potential remains on lands owned by various institutions in Princeton; these lands are not included in the vacant acreage. How we choose to utilize this limited commodity will shape the future development of Princeton. An examination of open space and recreation needs must take into account the competing needs identified in other elements of the Master Plan. This element contains a description of the Community’s open space and recreation needs and identifies the existing and new facilities necessary to satisfy those needs. In the late 1990’s, at the recommendation of the Regional Planning Board, Township voters approved a one cent open space tax which the voters increased to two cents in 2000. In 2001, the Borough voters approved a one cent open space tax. These taxes can be used to: acquire, develop and maintain lands for recreation and conservation purposes; acquire farm land for farmland preservation purposes; preserve and acquire historic properties, structures, facilities, sites, areas, or objects for historic preservation purposes; and pay debt service on indebtedness issued or incurred by the Borough or Township for any of the above-named purposes.
