Alumni are invited to join Professor Sir Ian Diamond and Professor Paul Mealor at a reception for Aberdeen alumni and friends in Princeton Meadow Church and Event Center, 545 Meadow Road, Princeton, NJ 08540 from 6.00pm. 

The reception will be followed by a concert by the Westminster Williamson Voices, conducted by Professor Jordan.  This will feature the American premiere of Paul Mealor's choral masterwork Crucifixus.   

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to meet Professor Mealor.  This rising star, a lecturer at the University of Aberdeen, was catapulted to international fame when his composition, Ubi caritas was performed at the Royal Wedding ceremony of His Royal Highness Prince William and Catherine Middleton, now TRH The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge, at Westminster Abbey in 2011. Since then his success has continued including a Christmas number 1 in both the UK popular and classical charts. 

The gathering is also a great opportunity to meet fellow graduates, share your experiences and learn about developments at the University of Aberdeen.  

If you would like to attend please RSVP to Jim Day by April 10 by telephone 973-278-3400 or email jcday0126@aol.com.
