Join us for a free lunchtime concert at Hochstein at High Falls, featuring Bossa Nova Bradley Brothers.

Location: Outer parking lot at 4 Commercial Street, corner of Browns Race. Click here for a map.

Collectively and individually, the Bradley Brothers have performed for 30 years across the United States, Canada, and Europe. The Bossa Nova Bradley Brothers is the brainchild of singer and guitarist Todd Bradley, who has painstakingly studied the works of Brazilian musicians Antonio Carlos Jobim, Luis Bonfa, and Baden Powell, among others. Mark Bradley (sax and vocals), Julio Pabon (percussion), and Brian Williams (bass) are in demand throughout the Rochester area as sidemen and session players. Pianist and trumpeter Scott Bradley is a songwriter whose work with the Bill Tiberio Band can be heard on local and internet jazz stations.

Bassist Ron Carter brings his trio, featuring Donald Vega on piano and Russell Malone on guitar.

Ron Carter is the most recorded bassist in jazz history, having contributed to legendary jazz recordings by Miles Davis, Wes Montgomery, Herbie Hancock, Stan Getz, Wayne Shorter and many more while also recording over 40 albums as a band leader (or co-leader.) He is the bass player on the culturally resonant, and universally referenced “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” by Gil Scott-Heron.

A graduate of the Eastman School of Music, Carter is one of the many great musicians that enriched Rochester, NY’s local music history by playing at the now mythical Pythodd Room on Clarissa Street. Carter was elected to the Rochester Music Hall of Fame in 2015 and the DownBeat Jazz Hall of Fame in 2012.

Cordancia and BIODANCE are excited to collaborate again on a unique multidisciplinary event at this year’s Rochester Fringe Festival – with The Hochstein School serving as a Rochester Fringe Festival venue for the first time!

A beloved and entertaining classic, Camille Saint-Saëns’ Carnival of the Animals is a musical portrait of various animals ­– including a lion, an elephant, and a swan – often performed with narration. Our narrator, Rochester storyteller Jay Stetzer, describes the animals in words with his own humorous take on a text by Ogden Nash. BIODANCE dancers join Cordancia musicians with choreography by Missy Pfohl Smith and costumes by Natalia Lisina. 

The carnival atmosphere continues with Darius Milhaud’s Le Boeuf sur le toit (The Ox on the Roof), performed by Cordancia and further enhanced by digital media projection by W. Michelle Harris. The lively opening theme returns again and again, with playful interjections of Brazilian tangos and other dances. 

Compass is a solo dance work that premiered in June 2024, inspired by Paul Klee’s painting “Strong Dream.” The piece features dancer Alaina Olivieri and new quadrophonic music (surround sound) by Austin White. This non-narrative, dynamic, and edgy work plays with sound, light, and movement as if a “deer in headlights,” a metaphor for someone in a mental state of high arousal caused by anxiety, fear, panic, surprise, or confusion.

Cordancia Chamber Orchestra performs classical music concerts throughout the year at various locations in the greater Rochester area. Their award-winning programming blends eclectic, vibrant, lesser-known music with traditional classical repertoire.

BIODANCE is a contemporary repertory dance company based in Rochester, NY, and directed by Missy Pfohl Smith, who also directs the Institute for the Performing Arts and the Program of Dance and Movement at University of Rochester. 

Location:  The Hochstein School, 50 North Plymouth Avenue, Rochester, NY 14614

TICKETS

$15 for general admission, $10 for students with ID and free for kids 12 and under
