RPO on WXXI

By Norm Silverstein ~ Posted Tue, 05/07/2013 - 9:35am

The Rochester Philharmonic is one of our city's cultural treasures, but attending the concerts isn't possible for many in our community. That's why — for more than 30 years — WXXI has partnered with the RPO to make their concerts accessible for everyone! This week, Classical 91.5’s Brenda Tremblay kicks off the radio broadcast of the 2012-13 season of "Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra". The 14-part series airs Mondays at 8 p.m. Throughout the season former Music Director Arild Remmereit and the RPO performed music by living women composers Jennifer Higdon, Margaret Brouwer, Karen Tanaka, and Barbara Kolb, and works from the first half of the 20th century by Amy and Lili Boulanger. 

As Rochester's partner in the arts — and having the only full-time classical music station — it has been a natural fit for Classical 91.5 to broadcast the series over the years. Our hope is by making the musical performances available to all, we will inspire the next Renée Fleming, William Warfield or Jeff Tyzik. For a complete schedule, visit WXXI's RPO Broadcasts page.

The Times, they are a-changing

If you can believe all the hype about Apple’s new tablet computer, the “iPad,” it’s yet another product ready to “change the world.” Of course, it’s hard to write off Apple. They do come up with world-changing ideas. Whether we have an iPhone or another “smart phone,” we’re all connected in ways that would have been hard to imagine a few short years ago (after all, the iPhone has only been around for three years)!

Earning your trust

You will often hear us say during membership campaigns that “we work to earn your trust every day.” It’s a phrase that we do not take lightly. Though we receive your endorsement through your membership gift, we look to validate that support throughout the year. From in-depth news stories to inspiring arts programs to extending our community reach, you can always rely on WXXI to make a positive difference every day.  Some of our latest activities at the station certainly demonstrate that.
