Illuminating the future of classical music in our community by celebrating emerging young talent in the Rochester region.
Born after the year 2000, Gen Z takes a new approach to everything by default.
But how does this contrast against the long-
established canon of music history?
In the Key of Z: Classical explores this question through the eyes of five students whose devotion to their craft defies generational trends.
WXXI’s In the Key of Z: Classical is a dynamic digital-first series that
celebrates the emerging classical talent of the Rochester region.
Through captivating live performances and insightful interviews, the series introduces audiences to the next generation of classical performers. These talented artists share their musical foundations and aspirations for the future.
