The Princeton University Sinfonia is a full symphony orchestra that unites eager, music-loving Princeton undergraduate and graduate students as well as community friends to explore diverse symphonic repertory from four centuries. Its members are passionate musicians with diverse interests and backgrounds who come together for the rich rewards of making music together and for others.  

Dr. Ruth Ochs is a passionate and sought-after conductor, scholar and educator based in central New Jersey. Since 2002 she has been conducting at Princeton University in various capacities. Under Ochs‘ leadership, Sinfonia regularly premieres new compositions by Princeton University undergraduate composers and features student and faculty soloists. In 2019 she received the Princeton University Pace Center for Civic Engagement’s Community Engagement Award. 

Ochs holds degrees in music, orchestral conducting, and music history from Harvard University, the University of Texas at Austin and Princeton University, respectively. As a Fulbright Scholar, she studied at Humboldt Universität in Berlin, and as a student of the Polish language, she studied at the Uniwersytet Jagielloński in Kraków, Poland.
