Pegasus Early Music is celebrating its 15th season, but Artistic Director Deborah Fox decided to give us a present: A Baroque Noel. In December, 2019, master lutenist Paul O'Dette took to the podium to lead a chamber choir and Baroque orchestra for an evening celebratory Christmas concert that left the audience cheering. Included in the program was a work that has become a standard for the Classical 91.5 Holiday Songbook: Vivaldi's Magnificat. It is a glorious work, filled with soaring melodies, that delivers hope in the holiday season. As spring comes to Rochester, we rejoice once again.
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.
