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.
