Performance Rochester
WXXI Classical's annual celebration of local performing groups. While the novel coronavirus has resulted in the cancellation of concerts and seasons, we brought some of the area's best live musical moments to you. This focus on local music has continued through the show Performance Upstate and the continued inclusion of live, local performances as part WXXI's daily programming.

Thu 4/12 @ 12:00p Melissa Matson and Kurt Galvan perform Frank Bridge's Two Pieces, viola & piano

Frank Bridge: Two pieces for viola and piano

The First Muse concert "British Buddies" on November 19, 2017 in the First Universalist Church gave us three delightful entries for Performance Rochester  2018. The last of the three features First Muse founder and Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra Principal Violist Melissa Matson and pianist Kurt Galván, this time with two Frank Bridge miniatures that were written at different times, then put together as a set.
