Ooh, Shiny!

The spring season of Live from Hochstein broadcast concerts on WXXI-FM opened today with an exciting performance by the Eastman Trombone choir. The ensemble played arrangements of music by Strauss, Handel and Bach, and new works by Chris Brubeck, John Firth and former Eastman professor Emory Remington. The music was sonorous and fun, and the Hochstein Performance Hall is a great place to listen to brass ensembles. And it's captivating to watch all that brass shining and reflecting throughout the hall!

Live from Hochstein is the longest running live broadcast concert series in Western New York. The lunchtime programs range from soloists and chamber ensembles to large orchestras and choirs. The broadcasts are presented as free brown bag concerts, at the Hochstein Performance Hall, 50 North Plymouth Avenue in Rochester.
