Every day there are exciting things going on in Rochester's cultural arts community. Classical 91.5 hosts collaborate with and create highlights of various arts organizations, musicians and artists in and around our community.

Interview with Cellist Stefan Reuss

Cellist Stefan Reuss recently stopped by WXXI's studios to discuss his experiences playing chamber music at the Rochester Academy of Medicine for twenty years, in a trio that includes pianist Rebecca Penneys and violinist Mikhail Kopelman. We also discussed the trio's upcoming performance this week on Live from Hochstein

If you just have a few minutes, read and listen to this radio story about the academy concerts, the music on the program, and the history of the Hochstein Performance Hall. 

If you have a little longer (about 20 minutes), listen here to my full interview with Stefan Reuss, who is a charming conversationalist, as well as a fabulous musician.
