Wednesday, October 6 at 12:10 p.m. Live from Hochstein

(Rochester, NY) – WXXI and Hochstein School of Music and Dance kick off the 35th year of Live from Hochstein with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) under the direction of Jeff Tyzik on Wednesday, October 6 at 12:10 p.m. on Classical 91.5/FM-HD91.5-1. The orchestra performs Tyzik’s Timpani Concerto, which premiered in January 2010 with the RPO.

Hosted by Classical 91.5's Chris Van Hof, Live from Hochstein is the longest running live broadcast concert series in Western New York. Broadcast live from the Hochstein Performance Hall (50 North Plymouth Ave. in Rochester), the series presents performances by some of the finest artists from the Rochester area’s musical community. Each of these free “brown bag” concerts runs from 12:10-12:50 p.m., giving downtown business people, teachers, families, students and friends an opportunity to enjoy classical music during their lunch hour.

This year’s season promises several premiere works, and a fresh approach to the broadcast, with brief chats with the artists during the program. Prior to lunchtime broadcast, Classical 91.5 presents a feature with the Live from Hochstein artists performing that day at 8:40 a.m.

Live from Hochstein repeats that same day at 9 p.m. on Classical 91.5 (except for on Oct. 13 when the broadcast repeats at 10 p.m.).
