In “Singing Sisters: Our story of lineage, love, and legacy” Concentus Women's Chorus, led by music director Anna Atwater, celebrates the group’s 25th season and features many of their favorite pieces, including music by Cary Ratcliffe, Eric Whitacre, and Ysaye Barnwell.
You're invited to hear this music on Live from Hochstein on Wednesday, April 9th at 12:10pm, in person at the Hochstein Performance Hall (50 N. Plymouth Avenue, downtown Rochester) or by listening to the live broadcast on WXXI Classical.
From the Latin meaning “singing together, harmony,” Concentus Women’s Chorus was conceived and founded in 2000 and is devoted to exploring the wide variety of classical music – ranging from medieval chant through contemporary compositions – written specifically for women’s voices.
In addition to yearly full-length concert presentations each year, Concentus performs at several special events in the Greater Rochester and Central New York area.
Live from Hochstein with host Mona Seghatoleslami is a series of midday concerts by some of the finest artists in our area broadcast live from The Hochstein Performance Hall. Each of these free concerts runs from 12:10-12:50 p.m., giving downtown business people, teachers, families, students, and friends an opportunity to enjoy classical music by outstanding musicians, including soloists, duos, and vocal and chamber ensembles. You can also hear an encore broadcast of Live from Hochstein later the same day at 10 p.m. on WXXI Classical.
