This spring, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra joins forces once again with ROCmusic for a free, one-of-a-kind side-by-side concert that is not to be missed. Together, these musicians take the stage to share an electrifying and beautifully diverse program that spans centuries and continents: from the sparkling wit of Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro Overture and the dramatic sweep of Verdi’s La forza del destino, to the jubilant, folk-infused energy of Florence Price’s Juba Dance and the irresistible fire of Khachaturian’s Masquerade Waltz and Gallop. The evening also features contemporary works including Joshua Fugate’s Graham’s Grand Adventure — performed alongside the Roberts Wesleyan University Chorale and Manor Singers Children’s Choir — as well as Soon Hee Newbold’s Voyager, William Hofeldt’s tender Lullaby, the Renaissance-inspired elegance of Warlock’s Capriol Suite, the beloved propulsion of Brahms’ Hungarian Dance No. 5, and a rousing close with the Baptiste & Sylvester arrangement of Brandenburg.
More than just a concert, this collaboration is a celebration of what music can do: bridge communities, inspire the next generation of artists, and remind us all why live performance matters.
THE CONCERT IS FREE AND TICKETS ARE NOT REQUIRED.
