Backstage Pass with Irina Stachinskaya and Irina Lupines - 4/2 and 4/7/19

Russian flutist Irina Stachinskaya came into town for a Rochester Flute Association Master Class and recital at the Eastman School of Music. She and pianist Irina Lupines made room in their schedules for Backstage Pass with Julia Figueras. Irina Stachinskaya was only 14 when she landed her first job: Principal Flute for the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra. Since then, she's been very, very busy...and you'll get to hear about her adventures Tuesday, April 2 at 1 PM. The show repeats on Sunday, April 7 at 1 PM.

A Strong Memorial baby and Greece Arcadia grad, Julia Figueras was the Music Director and mid-day host for WXXI Classical until June 30, 2023 when she retired after more than 26 years of service. She also hosted the award-winning monthly interview/performance show, Backstage Pass.
