Rochester Chamber Music Society closes their 28th season

Starting at 4 pm at the Federated Church in Rochester. The afternoon concert features the well-known Heliand with guest percussionist Thomas Kozumplik. Heliand’s 15th anniversary season draws to a close with a compelling new program for oboe, bassoon and piano called “Cool of the Day.” Continuing their mission to make classical music meaningful and accessible through purposeful programming and vivacious performances, Heliand combines music of Franz Josef Haydn, Jenni Brandon, Padma Newsom, Clémence de Grandval, and Chick Corea. They will also present the world premiere of “Nuts”, a piece commissioned by Heliand from composer Molly Leach. The program title was inspired by the song “Now is the Cool of the Day” by Jean Ritchie, which the trio will be singing in an arrangement by Moira Smiley.
