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.

The Rochester Early Music Festival celebrates Rochester and Western New York's richly varied culture of Early Music performance and scholarship. Now in its 16th year, the REMF brings together soloists and ensembles playing music of the Medieval period through the Baroque. The capstone of the Early Music Festival, our Gala Concert, celebrates the diversity of early music in the glorious acoustic environment of St. Anne Church. Presented in "prism" format, singers and instrumentalists surround the audience with music, flowing freely and without interruption from one performance to another.

Hear performer Glenna Curren and Festival Committee Chair Joe Finetti discuss the event on News 8 at Noon.
