Spring Recess, No Live from Hochstein concert today

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED For its spring concert, Ensemble Perihipsous - Rochester's period orchestra - presents two symphonies reflecting the dual theatrical masks of comedy and tragedy.

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

Symphony No. 44, "Trauer" (Funeral), is an exciting and stormy work, the second movement of which Haydn desired be part of his own funeral. Symphony No. 60, "Il distratto" (The Distracted One), is filled with comedic twists and turns, conveying the forgetfulness of the absent-minded character of the play for which the music was composed. Cellist Beiliang Zhu will be the featured soloist in Haydn's vibrant Cello Concerto in C Major.

Doors open at 6:30 pm; pre-concert presentation on Haydn at 7:00 pm.

Hochstein has served people of all ages, musical abilities, and means since our founding in 1920. This event showcases Hochstein's ongoing commitment to making need-based scholarships available to those in the Greater Rochester area.

Opening a Window…  

One warm spring afternoon sometime around 1906, Rochester arts patron Emily Sibley Watson heard a young David Hochstein practicing violin through an open window at her neighbor’s home. She became his benefactor, ensuring that he received the finest training available. This is the genesis of what would later become the Hochstein School of Music & Dance as we know it – providing people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities with access to excellent music and dance education in a community that nurtures and encourages personal achievement.

Join us on April 21 as we raise funds for Hochstein’s need-based scholarship program and continue opening new “windows” for those who come to Hochstein today.
