RPO Music Director:
Christopher Seaman
In 2010-2011, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra performs its last season under the longest-serving Music Director in its history, Christopher Seaman. The widely-respected, British-born conductor has become an inspiration to the Rochester community and is recognized as having raised the artistic level of the RPO to its present excellence. Critics have acclaimed his recordings on the harmonia mundi label, and in 2009, Christopher led a triumphant gala concert celebrating major renovations to the orchestra’s performance hall, Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre. (His third and final RPO recording project, featuring Vaughan Williams' "London" Symphony and Serenade to Music, will be released on harmonia mundi in 2011.)
During this watershed season, the orchestra will perform several major works with personal significance to Maestro Seaman. Host and producer Brenda Tremblay shares Christopher’s stories and connections to the repertoire during WXXI broadcasts, ending with Christopher’s final performance as Music Director in June of 2011.
