A Continuum of Innovative Composers

  • Beston Hall at Glazer Music Performance Center at Nazareth University 4245 East Avenue Rochester, NY, 14618 United States (map)

Come early for the pre-concert talk at 2:30 PM—the music starts at 3:00! Students and kids get in free—just stop by the welcome table for admission.

"Experience classical music's continuum across centuries - from Haydn's Enlightenment elegance through the deeply personal expressions of Sibelius and Debussy. Florence Price's piano quintet beautifully bridges European Romantic tradition with America's vibrant blues heritage."
