A staple of the holiday season, the Eastman Horn Choir returns to Live from Hochstein for its annual festive performance, Holiday Horns.
You're invited to hear this music on Live from Hochstein on Wednesday, December 10th 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.
The Eastman Horn Choir, founded in 1968 by legendary hornist Verne Reynolds, continues its tradition of excellence under the direction of W. Peter Kurau, Professor of Horn and Chamber Music at the Eastman School of Music and Principal Horn of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. Composed of 28 undergraduate through doctoral students representing 14 states and four countries, the ensemble showcases a rich repertoire of original works and transcriptions spanning Renaissance to contemporary music, including commissions by composers such as Samuel Adler, Jeff Tyzik, and Jennifer Bellor.
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.
