Jeff Tyzik, Principal Pops Conductor of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra

This week, Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra Principal Pops conductor Jeff Tyzik takes the podium with a movie themed concert for the Philharmonics series. He looked through decades of soundtracks and selected great music from the cinematic world, including brilliant music for a less than brilliant film. Jeff stopped in to chat with WXXI Music Director Julia Figueras about the soundtracks he picked, and the ones he like to perform the next time around.

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.
