SUMMARY:FREE Around the Town Concert - East High School
DESCRIPTION:This event is FREE but tickets are required.\nRPO For All Sponsor \nSupported by Christine Colucci\nThe Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra brings its beloved Around the Town series to East High School Tuesday\, April 28. An Evening of Overtures is the perfect introduction for first-time classical music listeners and a delightful treat for seasoned concert-goers alike because this concert reads like symphonic music’s “greatest hits”. Overtures are the cinematic opening statements of the operatic and theatrical world: compact\, dramatic\, and bursting with melody from the very first note. The program spans centuries and continents\, opening with the infectious energy of Smetana’s Bartered Bride Overture (a whirlwind of Czech folk spirit) before traveling to the misty Scottish coastline with Mendelssohn’s hauntingly beautiful Hebrides Overture. Offenbach’s riotous Overture to Orpheus in the Underworld (yes\, the one with that cancan) brings irresistible fun\, while Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Overture delivers one of the most achingly romantic melodies ever written. Strauss’ sparkling Die Fledermaus Overture conjures the glittering ballrooms of Vienna\, and the evening closes with the wide-open Americana swagger of John Williams’ Cowboys Overture. Whether you’re a lifelong RPO devotee or stepping into the world of orchestral music for the very first time\, this is one night you won’t want to miss — and best of all\, it’s completely free.

DESCRIPTION:RPO For All Sponsor \nConcert sponsored by \nConcert supported by \n\nTHE CONCERT IS FREE AND TICKETS ARE NOT REQUIRED. \nThis spring\, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra joins forces once again with ROCmusic for a free\, one-of-a-kind side-by-side concert that is not to be missed. Together\, these musicians take the stage to share an electrifying and beautifully diverse program that spans centuries and continents: from the sparkling wit of Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro Overture and the dramatic sweep of Verdi’s La forza del destino\, to the jubilant\, folk-infused energy of Florence Price’s Juba Dance and the irresistible fire of Khachaturian’s Masquerade Waltz and Gallop. The evening also features contemporary works including Joshua Fugate’s Graham’s Grand Adventure – performed alongside the Roberts Wesleyan University Chorale and Manor Singers Children’s Choir – as well as Soon Hee Newbold’s Voyager\, William Hofeldt’s tender Lullaby\, the Renaissance-inspired elegance of Warlock’s Capriol Suite\, the beloved propulsion of Brahms’ Hungarian Dance No. 5\, and a rousing close with the Baptiste & Sylvester arrangement of Brandenburg. \nMore than just a concert\, this collaboration is a celebration of what music can do: bridge communities\, inspire the next generation of artists\, and remind us all why live performance matters. \nStudio Strings Student Roster\nVIOLIN\nAllycia McClendon\nAlyse Lawhorn\nAurora Medina\nCherish Lovett\nCleo Bearden\nEmery Butterfield\nIsland Miles\nIvan Xaysongkham\nJournee Robinson\nJoy Cashner\nJustice-Aleese Simmons\nLayla Owens\nLe’La Hale\nLiza Osuch\nLouis Zhu\nMia Calucho\nNina Muhammad\nSergio Navedo\nSolana Dennis\nTaegan Butterfield\nZara Dennis\nZoey Jackson\nVIOLA\nAlex Eckert\nElla Eckert\nMariah Campbell\nMicah Crawford\nRaúl Zambrana\nXiamar Rosario\nCELLO\nAbrehet Doris-Eaton\nAlice Mackenzie\nElson Di Fiore\nIsaac Weaver\nJeremias Jackson\nLeo Weaver\nMarlie Wilson\nMatthew Bain\nBASS\nAlex Prescod\nDelmus Holton\nNeteiri Gilbert\nStudio Strings Faculty\nAnna Denfield\, viola\nCiara McGuire\, violin\nDavid Ying\, cello\nEmma Goldberg\, bass\nJherrard Hardeman\, conductor\nRachel Mills\, cello\nSophia Klin\, violin\nDan Morehead\, RPO Bass Mentor\nJames Marshall\, RPO Viola Mentor\nJames Zabawa-Martinez\, RPO Violin Mentor
