This year, we are particularly honored to share these concerts with our listeners in support of the many groups, and the talented musicians that have had to cancel performances.

We know the financial and emotional strain that this coronavirus pandemic has put on arts organizations and musicians, and we share these performances with you to show our support and to keep your music in the minds of your supporters. We also know the power of music to heal...to provide an oasis...and give us hope for a brighter tomorrow. In addition to the curated selections listed below, WXXI Classical 91.5 will also be sharing encore performances from last season of Live from Hochstein concerts (Wednesday evenings at 9pm) and Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra concerts (Mondays at 8pm). Be listening throughout each day to see how many other Rochester performances you can hear.
