The Hochstein School’s Live from Hochstein concert series returns this fall with a new lineup of free noontime performances beginning Wednesday, October 14, 2026, and continuing weekly through December 16, 2026. Concerts take place from 12:10–12:50 p.m. in the Hochstein Performance Hall and are open to the public at no charge.

These concerts are presented in partnership with WXXI and broadcast live on WXXI Classical 91.5 and rebroadcast at 10 p.m. the day of the concert.

Pegasus Rising, an offshoot of Rochester’s Pegasus Early Music, is a competitive mentorship program that supports the next generation of professional early musicians. Based in New York City, Quartet Novalis seeks to bring a fresh perspective to the string quartet repertoire by uncovering old concepts of sound and musical understanding. By performing on historically-appropriate instruments, the group is able to draw out subtle and highly nuanced textures and impressions, while breathing life into repertoire that has fallen by the wayside.
