This noontime, lunch hour summer concert series features the sounds of local musicians in the city’s High Falls District. Hochstein at High Falls concerts begin at 12:10 pm on Thursday afternoons in the outer parking lot at 4 Commercial Street, corner of Browns Race. Click here for a map.
Please note that this is a new location for this summer, due to pending construction on the Pont de Rennes.
The concerts are hosted by WXXI Classical’s Mona Seghatoleslami. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own seating and lunch. Each performance will run approximately 40 minutes.
The new look for this year’s Hochstein at High Falls concerts was designed by Brandtatorship.
