WXXI is proud to offer you concerts approved for release from the current season of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. The 2025-26 Broadcast season begins June 15, 2026 and runs through September 28, 2026. The entire series will then repeat October 5, 2026 through January 18, 2027. The live performances are captured by recording engineers Dave Sluberski, Alan Bise, and Bernd Gottinger and hosted and produced by WXXI Classical morning host Brenda Tremblay.
You'll hear what the crowd hears in live performances — interviews recorded during the pre-concert chats with conductors and guest artists, hosted by WXXI Classical's former Music Director Julia Figueras. Content from these interviews is incorporated into the radio broadcasts, giving the listener a sense of being in the performance hall.
Broadcast of RPO Concerts on WXXI Classical is made possible by a grant from Dr. Ralph Jozefowicz, honoring classical music in Rochester.
