Enhance your museum experience with an in-depth look at some of RMSC’s favorite permanent exhibits and limited time only, featured exhibitions. Guided tours through a selection of RMSC’s exhibitions will be offered on the following dates in 2019.

The RPO Quartet – Willa Finck, violin; Robert Simonds, violin; Melissa Matson, viola; and Lars Kirvan, cello – performs an All-American program with a nod to Veteran’s Day. The concert includes works by contemporary composers Luke Cissell, Kenji Bunch, and Caroline Shaw, and a piece by Elmira’s Charles Griffes that is based on Chippewa/Ojibwe music.

The 2020 David Hochstein Recital Competition winners – Maxwell Sun, marimba (Rochester, Grade 11); Noah Lee, violin (Pittsford, recent HS graduate); and Amy Feng, piano (Pittsford, Grade 11) – perform works by Schumann, Prokofiev, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Bach, and Stout in this concert rescheduled from the spring.

Although our in-person travel experiences are limited during this unique time, music can take us to different parts of the world with no limitations. Pianist and Hochstein instructor Yi-Wen Chang takes us on a tour around the world with works by Catalan composer Federico Mompou, Leopold Godowsky, Taiwanese composer Shui-Long Ma, Brazil’s Heitor Villa-Lobos, and George Gershwin (arr. Percy Grainger).

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.” These bold words, read aloud in Seneca Falls in 1848, galvanized a struggle that continues to this day. Join GCV&M to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment’s passage and women’s constitutional right to vote with our upcoming webinar series “Rightfully Hers: Building the Foundation for Freedom, Suffrage, & Equality.” We will explore the efforts of women throughout history as they laid the foundation for equality and then built upon the previous generations’ struggles and accomplishments to gain rights for women.
