The Eastman Horn Choir was founded in 1968 by Verne Reynolds and from its inception the Choir’s mission has been to provide an expanded ensemble experience for horn students, to acquaint them with the breadth of quality repertoire within our musical culture, and to encourage contemporary composers to create original works for multiple horns.

In addition to performing an annual holiday concert at Hochstein, the Choir has been featured on the Eastman at Washington Square series, in a biennial tribute to St. Hubert (patron saint of the hunt, from which the horn derives much of its repertoire), in a formal concert in the Eastman Theatre, and on the Music at St. Andrew’s and Music at St. John’s series.

This festive concert will be in the Prism format with performers set up in different parts of the hall and the concert runs continuously for about an hour.

Hochstein Singers and Youth Singers, directed by Maryellen Giese and Jonathan Thomas Madden, perform a seasonal program including songs like “Carol of the Bells,” John Lennon’s “Imagine,” and “El Cielo Canta Alegria (Heaven is Singing for Joy).” The concert also includes “Crowded Table,” a song by The Highwomen that won Best Country Song at the 2020 Grammy Awards; “Grandma's Feather Bed,” made famous by John Denver; and “If Wishes Had Wings,” with the word “peace” in 20 languages.

The Hochstein Little Singers, directed by Shana Kohler, continue that theme with “When Peace Begins with Me.” They also sing about winter, friendship, and “My Favorite Things.”

Near the end of the concert, the Youth Singers will be joined by family members, friends, Hochstein faculty, and members of the Rochester Oratorio Society for the “Hallelujah Chorus” from Handel’s Messiah.
