“Opera is perhaps one
of the safest examples in which to say
‘if you try it, you'll like it’ and more often than not, it happens."
Placido Domingo
The Rochester
Aria Group was formed with two primary goals: to promote classical singing
through live performance, and to create performance opportunities for
talented area singers. Increasingly, education has become an important
part of the Rochester Aria Group’s mission. Beyond providing opportunities
for public performance, we seek to provide significant educational opportunities
for performers, while introducing audiences to the exciting world of
operatic music.
Over the past
nine seasons, the Rochester Aria Group has become known for its quality
musical performances and creative programming. This year we will celebrate
our 10th Anniversary Season with a 3-concert
series, as well as an Anniversary Gala performance presented free to
the public (10/25/08), and a collaborative performance with the Rochester
Symphony (4/25/09). This milestone offers our performers, volunteers
and audience the chance to acknowledge and celebrate a decade of artistic
work and achievement.
We are grateful
to the many people who have supported the Rochester Aria Group over
the years, and look forward to a fantastic season of beautiful music
and outstanding singing.
